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.

Capital is that part of the wealth of a country which is employed in production, and consists of food, clothing, tools, raw materials, machinery, etc., necessary to give effect to labor.

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

Capital is always to be kept in circulation — money talks, but it doesn't talk in its sleep.

Capital is anthropocentric but it messes with the part of the human that has a foot in the nonhuman; in kindred, friendship, solidarity, symbiosis.

The City is not a concrete jungle, but a human zoo.

The City is itself a threatening natural disaster.

The City is a place where time becomes visible and mind takes form.

City is the only desert still available to us.

Community is gathering around a fire and listening to someone tell a story.

Community is, as the very heart of civilization, the mutually cooperative and voluntary venture of man to assume a semblance of responsibility for his brother.

Community is grounded in this idea — It is your concern when the wall next door is on fire.

Community is grounded in dialogue — it comes as a result of folks talking 'to' one another instead of 'about'.
