Quotes about forcibly (16 Quotes)



    It stars the same character from 'Plum Island,' John Corey, who's NYPD, ... At the end of 'Plum Island' he was forcibly retired, and so he's in a new incarnation here he's working for the Joint Terrorist Task Force, though in the book I call it the Anti-terrorist Task Force.



    The gentleman Josiah Quincy cannot have forgotten his own sentiment, uttered even on the floor of this House, 'Peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must.'









    Thus no member of the commonwealth can have a hereditary privilege as against his fellow-subjects and no-one can hand down to his descendants the privileges attached to the rank he occupies in the commonwealth, nor act as if he were qualified as a ruler by birth and forcibly prevent others from reaching the higher levels of the hierarchy through their own merit. He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the members of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his subordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.
