Famous quotes containing the words external, power and/or supply:
“A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit.... A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother’s milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
