#9711My experience with government is when things are non-controversial, beautifully
co-ordinated and all the rest, it must be that not much is going on.
-- J.F. Kennedy
#9712My father was a saint, I'm not.
-- Indira Gandhi
#9713My folks didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they were there to meet
the boat.
#9714My own life has been spent chronicling the rise and fall of human systems,
and I am convinced that we are terribly vulnerable. ... We should be
reluctant to turn back upon the frontier of this epoch. Space is indifferent
to what we do; it has no feeling, no design, no interest in whether or not
we grapple with it. But we cannot be indifferent to space, because the grand,
slow march of intelligence has brought us, in our generation, to a point
from which we can explore and understand and utilize it. To turn back now
would be to deny our history, our capabilities.
-- James A. Michener
#9715NAPOLEON: What shall we do with this soldier, Giuseppe? Everything he
says is wrong.
GIUSEPPE: Make him a general, Excellency, and then everything he says
will be right.
-- G. B. Shaw, "The Man of Destiny"
#9716National security is in your hands - guard it well.
#9717Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-- William Pitt, 1783
#9718Neglect of duty does not cease, by repetition, to be neglect of duty.
-- Napoleon
#9719Nemo me impune lacessit.
[No one provokes me with impunity]
-- Motto of the Crown of Scotland
#9720Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
-- Salvor Hardin, "Foundation"
