Quotes about Empire

Gandhi was only minding his own business when he took a walk to get some salt and ended up overthrowing the British Empire. You can't set out to overthrow an empire, but if you have to get some salt then get some salt.  If you have to write some independent songs that are honest, just write them.  If you have to do a day job stacking shelves, so be it.

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.

Once I saw a rich man sink to his knees and begin weeping. He built a mighty empire of concrete and steal but without love, he was nothing.
