Famous quotes containing the words external, power and/or supply:
“A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
