“In their nomination to office they will not appoint to the exercise of authority as to a pitiful job, but as to a holy function.”

“At common law, the Attorney-General is, when he is exercising his functions as an officer of the Crown, in no case that I know of a Court in the ordinary sense.”

“Every menial condition is bearable as long as one can exercise authority over one's work and be assured that the job is permanent.”

“All exercise of authority perverts, and submission to authority humiliates.”

“It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.”

“If I gave you a pity position it wouldn't be in my office.”

“Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.”

“Contingency theorists suggest that we can best proceed by appointing 'the right people' to the job we have in mind, and by creating flexible authority, communications, and reward structures that will motivate them to satisfy their own needs through the achievement of organizational goals.”

“It follows that the more definition is given, the more omniscient the management must be, so that no functions are left whole or partly undischarged, no person is overburdened with undelegated responsibility, or left without the authority to do his job properly.”

“All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and degrades those over whom it is exercised.”
