Eduard Shevardnadze
Sin cannot be conceived in a natural state, but only in a civil state, where it is decreed by common consent what is good or bad.
Baruch Spinoza
The wretch who digs the mine for bread, or ploughs, that others may be fed, feels less fatigued than that decreed to him who cannot think or read.
Hannah More
Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.
