Continuously learning, and learning is the core principle and pursuit of life since it works as an effective antidote therapy for the ego-feeling. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward. – George WashingtonRate it:
I'm not a racist, it's my principle: despite the fact that I'm on a diet and I should eat only white meat I eat also red and dark (I hope this is not a racist word?) with great relish, enjoying every bite. – Bryanna ReidRate it:
I'm a registered Republican and consider socialism a violation of the American principle that you shouldn't stick your nose in other people's business except to make a buck. – P. J. O'RourkeRate it:
If there is a bedrock principle of the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable. – Justice William J. BrennanRate it:
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. – Thomas JeffersonRate it:
It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies. – Arthur CalwellRate it:
It was no Insurrection or Rebellion, or even Civil War in any proper sense of these terms... The war... was a war between States regularly organized into two separate Federal Republics... In the beginning, and throughout the contest, the object of the 'Confederates' was to maintain the separate Sovereignty of each State, and the right of self-government, which that necessarily carries with it. The object of the 'Federals,' on the contrary, was to maintain a Centralized Sovereignty over all the States on both sides. This was the fundamental principle involved in the Conflict, which must be kept continually in mind. – Alexander Hamilton StephensRate it:
Liberty, equality - bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness. – Henri-Frédéric AmielRate it:
My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy you don't make them because they are cheap you don't make them because they're popular you make them because they're right. – Theodore HesburghRate it:
Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle. – William Lamb, 2nd Viscount MelbourneRate it:

Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle, that will determine our destiny. There is pride in that, even arrogance, but there is also experience and truth. In any event, it is the only way we can live. – Robert F. Kennedy, 1966 speech to South African young peopleRate it:
The Dilbert Principle The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage--Management. – Scott AdamsRate it:
The distinguishing part of our Constitution is its liberty. To preserve that liberty inviolate seems the particular duty and proper trust of a member of the House of Commons. But the liberty, the only liberty, I mean is a liberty connected with order: that not only exists along with order and virtue, but which cannot exist at all without them. It inheres in good and steady government, as in its substance and vital principle. – Edmund BurkeRate it:
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool. – Richard FeynmanRate it:
The principle of genuine creativity is not to depict but to arouse. – Prof.Salam Al ShereidaRate it:
The principle of least surprise is not for you only. The principle of least surprise means principle of least my surprise. – Yukihiro MatsumotoRate it:
The protection of freedom of religion in America is a fundamental principle of our country so whether you are Christian, you are Jewish, you are Muslim, you are Catholic, you are black, you are brown, you are white -- if you are born in this country, if you uphold Constitution, if you have the vision, if you are fit to lead, you can lead irrespective of your faith tradition. – Nihad AwadRate it:
The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. – George EliotRate it:
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which can not fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation. – Herbert SpencerRate it:
All legislation, all government, all society is founded upon the principle of mutual concession, politeness, comity, courtesy; upon these everything is based...Let him who elevates himself above humanity, above its weaknesses, its infirmities, its wants, its necessities, say, if he pleases, I will never compromise; but let no one who is not above the frailties of our common nature disdain compromises. – Henry ClayRate it:
