“The point of public relations slogans like "Support Our Troops" is that they don't mean anything”
Noam Chomsky (1928) american linguist, philosopher and activist
interview on WBAI, January 1992 http://www.zmag.org/chomsky/interviews/9201-propaganda.html. <br class="br">Quotes 1990s, 1990-1994 <br class="br">Context: The point of public relations slogans like "Support Our Troops" is that they don't mean anything... that's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody is going to be against and I suppose everybody will be for, because nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. But its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something, do you support our policy? And that's the one you're not allowed to talk about.

“Our fate lies in your hands, to you we pray
For an indulgent hearing of our play”
Robertson Davies (1913–1995) Canadian journalist, playwright, professor, critic, and novelist
A Prologue (1939) to Oliver Goldsmith's The Good Natur'd Man (1768).
Context: Our fate lies in your hands, to you we pray
For an indulgent hearing of our play;
Laugh if you can, or failing that, give vent
In hissing fury to your discontent;
Applause we crave, from scorn we take defence
But have no armour 'gainst indifference.
