Force Irresistible Necessity

Quote Author

Aeschylus
Greek - Poet
525 BC - 456 BC

It is because peaceful agitation and passive resistance are effective that I uphold them, and it is because force strengthens tyranny that I condemn it. War and Authority are companions; Peace and Liberty are companions. It is foolish in the extreme not only to resort to force before necessity compels, but especially to madly create the conditions that will lead to this necessity.

Benjamin Tucker

It is foolish in the extreme not only to resort to force before necessity compels, but especially to madly create the conditions that will lead to this necessity.

Benjamin Tucker

The irresistible force meets the immovable object.

Gorilla Monsoon

Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a movable body.

H. L. Mencken

Every man should stand for a force which is perfectly irresistible.

Henry David Thoreau

There never was a man of solid understanding, whose apprehensions are sober, and by a pensive inspection advised, but that he hath found by an irresistible necessity one true God and everlasting being.

Walter Raleigh

All real freedom springs from necessity, for it can be gained only through the exercise of the individual will, and that will can be roused to energetic action only by the force of necessity acting upon it from the outside to spur it to effort.

Anna C. Brackett

It is the combination of thought and love which forms the irresistible force of the law of attraction.

Charles F. Haanel

A positive mental attitude is an irresistible force that knows no such thing as an immovable body.

Napoleon Hill

Marriage is the only known example of the happy meeting of the immovable object and the irresistible force.

Ogden Nash

That which draws us by its mystical force; what every created thing, even the very stones, feels with absolute certainty as the center of its being... is the force of love. Christians call this "eternal blessedness." It is a necessity of man for growth and joy.

Gustav Mahler

I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.

Vincent Van Gogh

There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.

Sophie Swetchine

The libertarian approach is a very symmetrical one: the non-aggression principle does not rule out force, but only the initiation of force. In other words, you are permitted to use force only in response to some else's use of force. If they do not use force you may not use force yourself. There is a symmetry here: force for force, but no force if no force was used.

Stephan Kinsella

I keep meeting directors that are so irresistible. I only do irresistible films, because I don't need to act to feel myself alive.

Mathieu Amalric

When a party is in opposition, it opposes. That's its job. But when it comes to power, it must govern. Easy rhetoric is over, the press of reality becomes irresistible. By necessity, it adopts some of the policies it had once denounced. And a new national consensus is born.

Charles Krauthammer
