We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail.
Fredrik Bajer
We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty.
Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu
What have you given the world it never possessed before you came?
Billy Sunday
When the body of the people is possessed of the supreme power, it is called a democracy.
Charles de Secondat
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
Casey Stengel
Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction.
Alphonsus Liguori
Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed, but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.
Fanny Kemble
You don't have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn't know you possessed.
Napolean Hill
