They don't want to be reminded that there is an authority higher than the authority of the state.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Mayors do not have that authority to pick and choose what laws they're going to enforce.
Authority has to exist before it can be limited, and it is authority that is in scarce supply in those modernizing countries where government is at the mercy of alienated intellectuals, rambunctious colonels, and rioting students.
Authority must be respected and chosen wisely.
It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the State has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own.
A leading authority is anyone who has guessed right more than once.
I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution.
IT may be proper to observe further, that this Duty is not confined to those who live under any one particular Form of Government: It extends to the Subjects of all regular States, lawfully established.
No authority is higher than reality.
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.
