The Constitution separated the ideologies and values of the Church from the State, and leaders of the State were thus educated in matters pertaining to the State. These leaders proved themselves time after time with their pragmatic intellectual capacities.

The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.
‐‐ Samuel Adams
The Constitution that I interpret and apply is not living, but dead, or as I prefer to call it, enduring. It means, today, not what current society, much less the court, thinks it ought to mean, but what it meant when it was adopted.
‐‐ Antonin Scalia
The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.
‐‐ George Washington
The Constitution wanted artists to have control over their works because they knew it would create incentive to create more works. That is clearly still the goal.
‐‐ Hilary Rosen
The Constitution was about a limitation on power.
‐‐ Roy Moore
The Constitution was made for ordinary people.
‐‐ Pat Robertson
The Constitution was the expression not only of a political faith, but also of political fears. It was wrought both as the organ of the national interest and as the bulwark of certain individual and local rights.
‐‐ Herbert Croly
The Constitution was written by 55 educated and highly intelligent men in Philadelphia in 1787, but it was written so that it could be understood by people of limited education and modest intelligence.
‐‐ John Jay Hooker
The constitutional questions are in the first instance not questions of right but questions of might.
‐‐ Ferdinand Lassalle
The constitutions of Maryland and New York are founded in higher wisdom.
‐‐ Ezra Stiles
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
‐‐ Thomas Jefferson
The constraints of melodrama can be a great blessing, because they demand that all the characters involved - as absurd and extreme as they may initially seem - must stay utterly rooted in their own reality, or the whole project collapses.
‐‐ Stanley Tucci
The construction of an airplane is simple compared with the evolutionary achievement of a bird. If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
‐‐ Charles Lindbergh
The construction of Europe is an art. It is the art of the possible.
‐‐ Jacques Chirac
The construction of extensive railways, however, and particularly the consolidation of small, experimental lines into large systems, dates from the days of the discovery of gold in California.
‐‐ John Moody
The consumer is deciding what they want to see and when and how, and filmmakers are more aware and accepting of the fact that success is not predicated on your movie showing in a traditional theater for a certain amount of time.
‐‐ Ava DuVernay
The consumer is really underutilized in health care.
‐‐ Anne Wojcicki
The consumer isn't a moron; she is your wife.
‐‐ David Ogilvy
The consumerist culture insists that swearing eternal loyalty to anything and anybody is imprudent, since in this world new glittering opportunities crop up daily.
‐‐ Zygmunt Bauman
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
‐‐ Quentin Crisp
The consummate gentleman on the planet today is George Clooney, who never fails to go the extra mile for people. Every person matters to George.
‐‐ Anna Kendrick
The consumption and production of energy is a major component of the global economy.
‐‐ Barry Ritholtz
The consumption of petroleum should be conserved. We need to adopt some austerity measures. The people should cooperate with us.
‐‐ Veerappa Moily
The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live.
‐‐ Nicolas Chamfort
The contemporary American novelist benefits in a way from being ignored. It makes you angrier and makes you want to go into all of those places where you shouldn't.
‐‐ Colum McCann
The contemporary authors I most admire are Nick Hornby and Jonathan Tropper.
‐‐ Mike Greenberg
The contemporary crime novel is, at its best, a novel of character. That's where the suspense comes from.
‐‐ Val McDermid
The contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded on the spirituality of work.
‐‐ Simone Weil
The contemporary notion that it's somehow inherently bad for a film to be 'talky' has done grave damage to the culture of American movie-making, enough so that a growing number of people, myself among them, have all but given up on Hollywood.
‐‐ Terry Teachout
The contemporary political scientist believes that he can avoid the necessity of moral judgments and that he can help frame public policy without committing himself to any ethical position.
‐‐ Murray Rothbard
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
‐‐ Gertrude Stein
The content and thematic materials of dance is, of itself, like boxing. You play tennis and baseball. But boxing is not a sport you play: you stand up and do it.
‐‐ Twyla Tharp
The content I create reflects my personality: goofy, fun, positive, a bit clumsy, family-friendly, educational and helpful.
‐‐ Rosanna Pansino
The content of Saul Leiter's photographs arrives on a sort of delay: it takes a moment after the first glance to know what the picture is about. You don't so much see the image as let it dissolve into your consciousness, like a tablet in a glass of water.
‐‐ Teju Cole
The contents of the massive banks behind these successive revetments makes it quite clear that the material was derived from the incorporation of earlier occupation levels.
‐‐ Kathleen Kenyon
The contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders offered such a bright and bracing contrast to all those professional wrestlers emerging from the RNC's clown car.
‐‐ Rebecca Traister
The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.
‐‐ Daniel Webster
The contextual age means we're going to have to go to war on noise.
‐‐ Robert Scoble
The continental troops have as much courage and real discipline as those that are opposed to them. They are more inured to privation, more patient than Europeans, who, on these two points, cannot be compared to them.
‐‐ Marquis de Lafayette
The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.
‐‐ Jim Fowler
The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn't much I could do.
‐‐ Claudio Reyna
The contracts for Iraqi rebuilding are commercial contracts. I think being in the coalition of the willing puts us in the radar screen, but we also have to compete with other countries that are in the coalition of the willing, but the Philippines is a country that has produced world-class skilled workers that we have seen all over the world.
‐‐ Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
The contradictions are what make human behavior so maddening and yet so fascinating, all at the same time.
‐‐ Joan D. Vinge
The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail.
‐‐ Jonathan Kozol
The contribution of Islam to history and modern civilization is the product of the efforts of peoples of many races and tongues which came to accept its way of life.
‐‐ Aly Khan
The contribution of West African languages to Ebonics is absolutely infinitesimal. What it actually is is a very interesting hybrid of regional dialects of Great Britain that slaves in America were exposed to because they often worked alongside the indentured servants who spoke those dialects that we often learn about in school.
‐‐ John McWhorter
The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
‐‐ Helen Mirren
The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
