Famous quotes containing the words fascist and/or rule:
“I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system.”

“Therefore doth heaven divide
The state of man in divers functions,
Setting endeavor in continual motion,
To which is fixed, as an aim or butt,
Obedience; for so work the honeybees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
