Sovereign Quotes - Page 11

• We hold death, poverty, and grief for our principal enemies; but this death, which some repute the most dreadful of all dreadful things, who does not know that others call it the only secure harbor from the storm and tempests of life, the sovereign good of nature, the sole support of liberty, and the common and sudden remedy of all evils?

• Consider how august a privilege it is, when angels are present, and archangels throng around, when cherubim and seraphim encircle with their blaze the throne, that a mortal may approach with unrestrained confidence, and converse with heaven's dread Sovereign! O, what honor was ever conferred like this?

• Si en la mañana de la creación el rey del cielo
  A arbustos y flores un señor soberano había dado,
  Oh rosa hermosa, él te había ungido
  El soberano señor de los arbustos y las flores;
  El emblema inmaculado de la verdad inmaculada,
  La sonrisa de la belleza y el resplandor de la juventud,
  El orgullo del jardín, la gracia de las praderas vernales,
  El rubor de los prados, y el ojo de las flores.

• The first reactions are often instinctive. So one of the first things we said was that the Chinese had no right to inspect the plane, and that we had a sovereign right to. I don't know what the legal position is, but it was surely psychologically absolutely the unwise thing to do.

• Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.

• Have I said clearly enough that the Community we created is not an end in itself? It is a process of change, continuing in that same process which in an earlier period produced our national forms of life. The sovereign nations of the past can no longer solve the problems of the present: they cannot ensure their own progress or control their own future. And the Community itself is only a stage on the way of the organized world of tomorrow.

  Jean Monnet

• Parecería que si el despotismo se estableciera entre las naciones democráticas de nuestros días, podría asumir un carácter diferente; sería más extenso y más suave; degradaría a los hombres sin atormentarlos. No pongo en duda que, en una época de instrucción e igualdad como la nuestra, los soberanos podrían conseguir más fácilmente reunir todo el poder político en sus propias manos y podrían interferir más habitual y decididamente en el círculo de los intereses privados de lo que ningún soberano de la antigüedad pudo hacerlo jamás.
