Empire of Deception is a sure thing--a book guaranteed to entertain and make you rich (in knowledge, that is). Dean Jobb has found a fascinating yet little-known jazz-age tale and told it with style and smarts. Get in on the action.
Jonathan Eig
Image
Empire breeds terrorism.
Pat Buchanan
Image
Empires want [cities] only to trade with the empire, which doesn't help them at all. It's just a way of exploiting them.
Jane Jacobs
Image
Empire may be gained by gold, not gold by empire. It used, indeed, to be a proverb that It is not Philip, but Philip's gold that takes the cities of Greece.
Plutarch
Image
With knowledge now the key raw material for creating all economic wealth, the new power struggles will reach deep into our minds and our personal lives. That's why we believe the only empire that will survive in the 21st century will be the empire you build within your own mind.
Denis Waitley
Image
The world survived the fall of the Roman empire and will no doubt outlast our own so much more splendid civilisation.
James Buchan
Image
The demise of the American empire will be no more regretted than the demise of the Soviet empire.
Chalmers Johnson
Image
Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.
Don Rickles
Image
No, men and women of the Irish race, we shall not fight for England. We shall fight for the destruction of the British Empire and the construction of an Irish republic.
James Larkin
Image
The perfection preached in the gospels never yet built an empire. Every man of action has a strong dose of egotism, pride, hardness, and cunning.
Charles de Gaulle
Image
I have always endeavored to acquire strict business habits they are indispensable to every man. If your trade is with the Celestial Empire, then some small counting house on the coast, in some Salem harbor, will be fixture enough.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
When young I did my best to undo that bit of the British Empire I found myself in: that is, old Southern Rhodesia.
Doris Lessing
Image
There is no surer mark of a low and unregenerate nature than this tendency of power to loudness and wantonness instead of quietness and reverence. To souls baptized in Christian nobleness the largest sphere of command is but a wider empire of obedience, calling them, not to escape from holy rule, but to its full impersonation.
James Martineau
Image
I am never going to do an Empire Strikes Back ending again in a game, even if they put branding irons to my feet.
Chris Avellone
Image
All is lost! Monks, Monks, Monks! So, now all is gone - Empire, Body, and Soul!.
Henry VIII of England
Image
It can be considered a rule that the probable duration of an Empire may be prognosticated by the degree to which its rulers believe in their own propaganda.
Doris Lessing
Image
It is shameful that dancing should renounce the empire it might assert over the mind and only endeavor to please the sight.
Jean-Georges Noverre
Image
Rome didn't create an Empire by holding meetings - they did it by killing their enemies.
Chris Johnson
Image
Other men have said, If I could only live, I would establish and perpetuate an empire. This Christ of Galilee says, My death shall do it. Other martyrs have died in simple fidelity to truth. This martyr dies that He may make His truth mighty over all hearts. He was a man but was He only a man?
Herrick Johnson
Image
The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.
E. M. Forster
Image
Ones teachers all belonged to that generation who were imperialists, and the whole narrative throughout my adolescence was of countries leaving the empire. I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us.
Jeremy Paxman
Image
Neither love nor ambition, as it has often been shown, can brook a division of its empire in the heart.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Image
The Roman Empire came to an end, but the Roman people didn't come to an end, so I see the American Empire coming to an end just as other empires have come to an end.
Howard Zinn
Image
America is the new Roman Empire. Remember what happened to Rome.
