It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time.~ Abraham Lincoln Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.~ Abraham Lincoln Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.~ Abraham Lincoln The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh A radical is one who speaks the truth.~ Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. [W]henever the Legislators endeavor to take away, and destroy the Property of the People, or to reduce them to Slavery under Arbitrary Power, they put themselves into a state of War with the People, who are thereupon absolved from any farther Obedience, and are left to the common Refuge, which God hath provided for all Men, against Force and Violence. Whensoever therefore the Legislative shall transgress this fundamental Rule of Society; and either by Ambition, Fear, Folly or Corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other an Absolute Power over the Lives, Liberties, and Estates of the People; By this breach of Trust they forfeit the Power, the People had put into their hands, for quite contrary ends, and it devolves to the people, who have a Right to resume their original Liberty.~ John Locke Virtue is harder to be got than a knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.~ John Locke It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.~ Barry Lopez If we are ever in doubt about what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done.~ John Lubbock I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.~ Martin Luther The measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out.~ Thomas Babington Macaulay Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.~ Charles Mackay Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.~ James Madison No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause, because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his integrity.~ James Madison There is not a more important and fundamental principle in legislation, than that the ways and means ought always to face the public engagements; that our appropriations should ever go hand in hand with our promises. To say that the United States should be answerable for twenty-five millions of dollars without knowing whether the ways and means can be provided, and without knowing whether those who are to succeed us will think with us on the subject, would be rash and unjustifiable. Sir, in my opinion, it would be hazarding the public faith in a manner contrary to every idea of prudence.~ James Madison If it be asked what is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part of the Constitution, and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer, the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them; as if the general power had been reduced to particulars, and any one of these were to be violated; the same, in short, as if the State legislatures should violate their respective constitutional authorities. In the first instance, the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in the last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people who can, by the election of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.~ James Madison Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
