Authority is powerful — You can't fight City Hall

Authority is everything — eloquence is not what the speaker says but who he is that gives weight to eloquence.

Authority is anathema to freedom — Where there is authority, there is no freedom.

Authority is everything — people accept an idea more readily if you say Benjamin Franklin said it first.

Control is well-maintained with a threat — The dog that has been beaten with a stick is afraid of its shadow.

Control is sometimes best abandoned — don't try to steer the river.

Control is the source of strategic power.

Control , in modern times, requires more than force, more than law. It requires that a population dangerously concentrated in cities and factories, whose lives are filled with cause for rebellion, be taught that all is right as it is.

Example is powerful — as they say, example has more followers than reason.

Example is often a mirror that deceives.

Example is more efficacious than precept.
