But it seems plain that a man cannot be a legitimate object of moral praise or blame for an act unless in willing the act he is in some important sense a ‘free’ agent.

It will matter to us greatly on what side we fought.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.~ Lydia M. Child If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.~ Chinese Proverb Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one.~ Chinese Proverb Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: 'We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls.'~ Sir Winston Churchill The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.~ Marcus Tullius Cicero When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank.~ Marcus Tullius Cicero Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.~ Henry Clay I can find no warrant for such appropriation in the Constitution.~ Grover Cleveland Honor lies in honest toil.~ Grover Cleveland A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.~ Grover Cleveland Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
