Where there is a rotten root, there will always be rotten fruit. We must be rooted in Jesus Christ.

Joyce Meyer

I do not prize the word cheap. It is not a word of inspiration. It is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. Cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.

William McKinley

Georges Clemenceau

The stark and inescapable fact is that today we cannot defend our society by war since total war is total destruction, and if war is used as an instrument of policy, eventually we will have total war.

We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over. There is only one answer to that, and that is to get everyone as close as possible to some form of post-secondary education, it could be vocational, it can be liberal arts, it can be science and technology.

Thomas Friedman

War should never be thought of as something autonomous, but always as an instrument of policy.

Carl von Clausewitz

In war, the policy of least exertion always risks being paid for dearly.

Charles de Gaulle

The people's community must not be a mere phrase, but a revolutionary achievement following from the radical carrying out of the basic life needs of the working class. A ruthless battle against corruption! A war against exploitation, freedom for the workers! The elimination of all economic-capitalist influences on national policy...Maintaining a rotten economic system has nothing to do with nationalism, which is an affirmation of the Fatherland. I can love Germany and hate capitalism. Not only can I, I must.

Joseph Goebbels

War is not the continuation of policy. It is the breakdown of policy.

Hans von Seeckt

If there is a rotten government in a democracy, the main reason for this is that there is a rotten majority over there!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

WESTBURY, a nasty odious rotten-borough, a really rotten place.

Mitch Albom

For God's sake build not your faith upon Tradition, 'tis as rotten as a rotten Post.

Nicholas Culpeper

'American Sniper' is a film that erases history, spectacularizes violence, and reduces war and its aftermath to cheap entertainment, with an underexplained referent to the mental problems many vets live with when they return home from the war.
