What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making... Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn't mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.

Authority is like soap, the more you use it the less you will have of it.

The younger generation is supposed to rage against the machine, not for it. They're supposed to question authority, not question those who question authority.

The country and the Congress were misled into war. I regret that we were not given the truth; as I said more than a year ago, knowing what we know now, I would not have gone to war in Iraq. And knowing now the full measure of the Bush Administrations duplicity and incompetence, I doubt there are many members of Congress who would give them the authority they abused so badly. I know I would not.

Grades are a problem. On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.

The key to the behavior of subjects lies not in pent-up anger or aggression, but in the nature of their relationship to authority. They have given themselves to the authority; they see themselves as instruments for the execution of his wishes; once so defined, they are unable to break free.

Quotes About Authority

Quotes about Authority

Authority comes naturally to those who are wise. The world stands behind them and listens to them. But the intentions and cause should be noble and as Seneca says, “authority founded on injustice is never of long duration”. The intent is more important. Moral authority comes without seeking and is retained without effort. The authority is more strengthened by silence and not by uttering unnecessary retorts to each accusation.

This clearly attempts to bring out the true face of the person. “If you wish to know what a man is, place him in authority” is a Yugoslavian proverb. A person who has the authority must be more cautious and dignified than others. Only then, the authority will be retained otherwise, he or she may have to fall into deeper chasms. The following is the collection of quotes on authority and read them to get a better perspective.
