The Catholic Concordance Quotes

“Every constitution is rooted in natural law and cannot be valid if it contradicts it.”
― Nicholas of Cusa, The Catholic Concordance

“THE GREATEST DISORDER COMES FROM ABUSES ON THE PART OF THE HEAD, WHEN SUPERIORS USURP THE POWER OF THOSE UNDER THEM.”
― Nicholas of Cusa, The Catholic Concordance

“Since all are free by nature, all government, whether by written law or a prince, is based solely on the agreement and consent of the subject. For if by nature men are equally powerful and free, true and ordered power in the hands of one can be established only by the election and consent of the others, just as law also is established by consent . . . It is clear, therefore, that the binding validity of all constitutions is based on tacit or express agreement and consent.”
― Nicholas of Cusa, The Catholic Concordance
