I counted on sixty days only, but I held out for 133. I didn't go into power, but to get power I borrowed some power from the President and made him sign a number of decrees and give me enough power to create a system capable of handling crisis situations.
Aleksandr Lebed
It must take account of what it decrees for today in order that today may not paralyze tomorrow.
Felix Frankfurter
