“We didn't just cut it in an arbitrary place.”
Jim Bento
“Be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary.”
William S. Burroughs
“I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.”
William Blake
“Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken.”
Abigail Adams
“Considered logically this concept is not identical with the totality of sense impressions referred to; but it is an arbitrary creation of the human (or animal) mind.”
Albert Einstein
“The arbitrary rule of a just and enlightened prince is always bad. His virtues are the most dangerous and the surest form of seduction: they lull a people imperceptibly into the habit of loving, respecting, and serving his successor, whoever that successor may be, no matter how wicked or stupid.”
Denis Diderot
“We're not going to be tied to an arbitrary date on the calendar. We haven't scheduled it yet. If it's needed we want to make sure it has maximum impact.”
Paul Krell
