When words cease to cling close to things, kingdoms fall, empires wane and diminish.

Ezra Pound

History is made of empires, and the United States was by far and away the greatest, richest, and fairest empire that had every dominated the earth. Inevitably, it would fall. Empires always did. But we were lucky, you said. We got to participate in the most fascinating social experiment ever attempted.

Lionel Shriver

Nothing lasts forever, whether it's Greece, Rome or the British Empire. It doesn't mean that America has to end. The country could be reshaped and reimagined in a way that is even more democratic and less imperial in nature. We're trying to radically reshape the nation in ways that are more just and fairer. That's what I mean when I say that empires eventually fall. I'm not calling for the end of America. I'm just calling for a reimagination of its democratic possibilities.

Marc Lamont Hill

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Marilyn Monroe

All empires eventually destroy themselves. That's the record of history.

Ralph Nader

In trading with each other cities can't be in too different stages of development, and they can't copy one another. Backward cities, or younger cities, or newly forming cities in supply regions, have to develop to a great extent on one another's shoulders. This is one of the terrible things about empires. Empires want them only to trade with the empire, which doesn't help them at all. It's just a way of exploiting them.

Jane Jacobs

People who had empires, unfortunately, want them back eventually, somehow, someway.

Robert Wyatt

Betrayal isn't ridiculous. It's the reason empires fall.

Marisha Pessl

Spiritual growth is like learning to walk. We stand up, fall, stand up, fall, take a step, fall, take a couple of steps, fall, walk a little better, wobble a bit, fall, run, and finally, eventually fly.

Geri Larkin

As yourselves your empires fall, and every kingdom hath a grave.

William Habington

Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.

Noah Feldman

Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure.

Edward Thorndike

Empires rise and fall like the abdomen of God. It's just the universe breathing.

Wes Nisker

Children of the future, watching empires fall. Madness the cup they drink from, self destruction the toll.

Ozzy Osbourne

Empires fall, ids explode, great symphonies are written, and behind all of it is a single instinct that demands satisfaction.

Sherwin B. Nuland

Can you see air you breathe? Can you see the force that moves the tides or changes the seasons or sends the birds to a winter haven?" Her eyes welled. "Can Rome with all its knowledge be so foolish? Oh Marcus, you can't carve God in stone. You can't limit him to a temple. You can't imprison him on a mountaintop. Heaven is his throne; earth, his footstool. Everything you see is his. Empires will rise and empires will fall. Only God prevails.
