Authority must be respected and chosen wisely.

The wisest have the most authority.

I've always had trouble with authority.

Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.

I've never been any good with authority.

Authority is something from which we are constantly subtracting, of which there remains always a residue, and which we attempt to make smaller and smaller.

I obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. I've pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since I was a kid.

People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.'

Authority is by nothing so much strengthened and confirmed as by custom; for no man easily distrusts the things which he and all men have been always bred up to.
