Marching thus at night, a battalion is doubly impressive. The silent monster is full of restrained power resolute in its onward sweep, impervious to danger, it looks a menacing engine of destruction, steady to its goal, and certain of its mission.
Patrick MacGill
Image
Two things cause people to be destroyed: fear of poverty and seeking superiority through pride.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
A living creature develops a destructive impulse when it wants to destroy a source of danger... The original motive is not pleasure in destruction... I destroy in a dangerous situation because I want to live and do not want to have any anxiety. In short, the impulse to destroy serves a primary biological will to live.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
When liberty destroys order the hunger for order will destroy liberty.
Will Durant
Image
One of the challenges you will face is finding a job in our depressed economy, ... In fact, the chances of finding a job are about as good as finding weapons of mass destruction in the Iraqi desert -- slim and none, and slim just left the building.

A long war almost always places nations in this sad alternative: that their defeat delivers them to destruction and their triumph to despotism.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot. How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie is not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Greatness lives on the edge of destruction
Will Smith

All the destruction in Christian Europe has arisen from deism, which is natural religion.
William Blake
Image
All my plans in private life all my pursuits all my designs, wishes, and thoughts, have this one great object in view: the overthrow of the ruffian Boroughmongers. If I write grammars if I write on agriculture if I sow, plant, or deal in seeds whatever I do has first in view the destruction of those infamous tyrants.
William Cobbett
Image
Arson, property destruction, burglary, and theft are 'acceptable crimes' when used for the animal cause.
Alex Pacheco
Image
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern than the destruction of millions of our fellow beings.
William Hazlitt
Image
Many unbelievers have threatened or prophesied the destruction of the Bible. Few people know the names of the skeptics. Everyone knows the names of Moses and Isaiah and Luke and Paul.
William Henry Houghton
Image
The calculated killing of a human being by the state involves, by its very nature, an absolute denial of the executed person's humanity. The most vile murder does not, in my view, release the state from constitutional restraint on the destruction of human dignity.
William J. Brennan
Image
The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth.
William J. Clinton
Image
The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow.
William J. Clinton
Image
One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.
William J. Clinton
Image
It is time to stop personal destruction and prying into private lives
William J. Clinton
Image
If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program.
William J. Clinton
Image
The discovery of nuclear reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than the discovery of matches.
Albert Einstein
Image
The traditional religions worry me. Their long history proves that they have not understood the meaning of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. If we want to save this world from unimaginable destruction we should concentrate not on the faraway God , but on the heart of the individual.
