Famous quotes containing the word tie:

    “Nations have lost their old omnipotence; the patriotic tie does not hold. Nations are getting obsolete, we go and live where we will.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot.... How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie is not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
