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 A people who extend civil liberties only to preferred groups start down the path either to dictatorship of the right or the left.~ William O. Douglas The great and invigorating influences in American life have been the unorthodox: the people who challenge an existing institution or way of life, or say and do things that make people think.~ William O. Douglas You will ruin no more lives as you ruined mine. You will wring no more hearts as you wrung mine. I will free the world of a poisonous thing. Take that, you hound, and that! -- and that! -- and that! -- and that!~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Ill habits gather by unseen degrees -- As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.~ John Dryden To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves.~ Will Durant Excellence is an art won by training and habituation: we do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have these because we have acted rightly; 'these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions'; we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit: 'the good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life... for as it is not one swallow or one fine day that makes a spring, so it is not one day or a short time that makes a man blessed and happy.~ Will Durant I did not use paint, I made myself up morally.~ Eleanora Duse By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.~ Albert Einstein I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves - such an ethical basis I call more proper for a herd of swine. The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.~ Albert Einstein The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.~ Albert Einstein Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.~ Albert Einstein A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.~ Dwight D. Eisenhower The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.~ Dwight D. Eisenhower Pity the poor, wretched, timid soul, too faint hearted to resist his oppressors. He sings the songs of the damned, 'I cannot resist, I have too much to lose, they might take my property or confiscate my earnings, what would my family do, how would they survive?' He hides behind pretended family responsibility, failing to see that the most glorious legacy that we can bequeath to our posterity is liberty!~ W. Vaughn Ellsworth Character is higher than intellect... A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson It is frequently said that speech that is intentionally provocative and therefore invites physical retaliation can be punished or suppressed. Yet, plainly no such general proposition can be sustained. Quite the contrary…. The provocative nature of the communication does not make it any the less expression. Indeed, the whole theory of free expression contemplates that expression will in many circumstances be provocative and arouse hostility. The audience, just as the speaker, has an obligation to maintain physical restraint.~ Thomas I. Emerson The civilized man has a moral obligation to be skeptical, to demand the credentials of all statements that claim to be facts.~ Bergan Evans Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
