Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

Article III – The principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in the Nation. No body, no individual can exert authority which does not emanate expressly from it.
It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law.
Competence without authority is as powerless as authority without competence.
To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.
In this connection, faith and experience teach us many truths by means of the short-cut of authority and by the proofs of very pleasant and agreeable feelings.
Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence he is just using his memory.
