Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    You will find that reason, which always ought to direct mankind, seldom does; but that passions and weaknesses commonly usurp its seat, and rule in its stead.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    If all political power be derived only from Adam, and be to descend only to his successive heirs, by the ordinance of God and divine institution, this is a right antecedent and paramount to all government; and therefore the positive laws of men cannot determine that, which is itself the foundation of all law and government, and is to receive its rule only from the law of God and nature.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    Democracy don’t rule the world,
    You’d better get that in your head;
    This world is ruled by violence
    But I guess that’s better left unsaid.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
