If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under. -Ronald Reagan
"I plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything." - William Carey
Authority comes in three forms: expert authority, moral authority, and legal authority. Legal authority is just the brute legal power to do something. Expert authority is the authority over the how. Expert authority tells you whether your house is built on a proper foundation, or whether your not feeling well is a case of the flu or something more serious. Moral authority is the authority of the should. An engineer has expert authority on how to build a bridge, but does not necessarily have
any moral authority over whether the bridge can be built. - John Kluge, The Alleged Death of “Experts” https://ricochet.com/418915/the-alleged-death-of-experts/ß
"The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments." - Senator William Edgar Borah, The Reader's Digest, Vol. 8, Issue 2 (1929)
