[. . .] Therefore we support the idea of a Middle East free from weapons of mass destruction[.]” IdeasLawRoomsLeaderSupportMiddleSecurityWeaponsMassConnectionsDestructionEastSupremeDoctrineIslamicIranChemicalsMiddle EastNational SecurityWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass DestructionDecreeChemical WeaponsIslamic LawMuslim Religion Author:Ali Larijani
“People who blame the Bible for the modern destruction of nature have failed to see its delight in the variety and individuality of creatures and its insistence upon their holiness. But that delight-in, say, the final chapters of Job or the 104th Psalm-is far more useful to the cause of conservation than the undifferentiating abstractions of science... Reverence gives standing to creatures, and to our perception of them, just as the law gives standing to a citizen.” PeopleGivingJobsLawCausesAnimalModernCitizensCreaturesPerceptionStandingDestructionBlameFinalsIndividualityDelightVarietyHolinessReverenceChaptersConservationAbstractionInsistencePsalmsDestruction Of Nature Author:Wendell Berry
“I closed the gulf of anarchy and brought order out of chaos. I rewarded merit regardless of birth or wealth, wherever I found it.

I fought the decrepit monarchies of the Old Regime because the alternative was the destruction of all this. I purified the Revolution.” LawOrderFoundWealthRevolutionBirthDestructionChaosAlternativesMeritAnarchyRegimesMonarchyFeudalismDecrepit Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“This whole theory [of John Law and Jean Terrasson], as dear to French financial schemers in the eighteenth century as to American "Greenbackers" in the nineteenth, had resulted, under the Orleans Regency and Louis XV, in ruin to France financially and morally, had culminated in the utter destruction of all prosperity, the rooting out of great numbers of the most important industries, and the grinding down of the working people even to starvation.” PeopleImportantWholeLawNumbersCenturyTheoryIndustryDestructionFinancialDearProsperityRuinsFranceStarvation Author:Andrew Dickson White
