The religionists are the enemies of liberty, and the friends of liberty attack religion; the high-minded and the noble advocate subjection, and the meanest and most servile minds preach independence; honest and enlightened citizens are opposed to all progress, whilst men without patriotism and without principles are the apostles of civilization and intelligence. Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own? and has man always inhabited a world like the present, where nothing is linked together, where virtue is without genius, and genius without honor; where the love of order is confounded with a taste for oppression, and the holy rites of freedom with a taste for law; where the light thrown by conscience on human actions is dim, and where nothing seems to be any longer forbidden or allowed, honorable or shameful, false or true?~ Alexis de Tocqueville But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.~ Declaration of Independence Honest labor bears a lovely face.~ Thomas Dekker Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.~ Benjamin Disraeli The reality is, if we tell the truth, we only have to tell the truth once. If you lie, you have to keep lying forever.~ Rabbi Wayne Dosick A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying to others and to yourself.~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky The function of the prosecutor under the federal Constitution is not to tack as many skins of victims as possible against the wall. His function is to vindicate the rights of the people as expressed in the laws and give those accused of crime a fair trial.~ Justice William O. Douglas The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.~ Frederick Douglass Ill habits gather by unseen degrees -- As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.~ John Dryden The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.~ Albert Einstein Any time we deny any citizen the full exercise of his constitutional rights, we are weakening our own claim to them.~ Dwight D. Eisenhower I developed a practice which, so far as I know, I have never violated. The practice is to avoid public mention of any name unless it can be done with favorable intent and connotation; reserve all criticism for the private conference; speak only good in public.~ Dwight D. Eisenhower Character is higher than intellect... A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Don't say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
