Empire Quotes

The English sent all their bores abroad, and acquired the Empire as a punishment Picture Quote #1

Men do not rest content with parrying the attacks of a superior, but often strike the first blow to prevent the attack being made. And we cannot fix the exact point at which our empire shall stop; we have reached a position in which we must not be content with retaining but must scheme to extend it, for, if we cease to rule others, we are in danger of being ruled ourselves. Nor can you look at inaction from the same point of view as others, unless you are prepared to change your habits and make them like theirs Picture Quote #1

Insanity is not a distinct and separate empire; our ordinary life borders upon it, and we cross the frontier in some part of our nature Picture Quote #1

To make an empire durable, the magistrates must obey the laws and the people the magistrates Picture Quote #1

I have my own dying empire to contend with, and I do not wish for any other Picture Quote #1

Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires Picture Quote #1

The home is the empire! There is no peace more delightful than one’s own fireplace Picture Quote #1

I’m not pessimistic. It is the world that is terrible. How can we be optimistic in the face of a planet where people live so badly, nature is being destroyed and the dominant empire is money? Picture Quote #1

Aging nations have arteries clogged with obsolete laws, slowing blood flow and preventing oxygen from reaching all parts of the body politic. Physicians call this arteriosclerosis; historians see decline of empire Picture Quote #1
