Stable States

Famous quotes containing the words stable and/or states:

    And neigh like Boanerges—

    Stop—docile and omnipotent
    At its own stable door—

    In the case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of ... powers not granted by the compact, the States ... are in duty bound to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.
