Exercising Quotations
Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction. Barack Obama While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit. Lewis Carroll Some men have a necessity to be mean, as if they were exercising a faculty which they had to partially neglect since early childhood. F. Scott Fitzgerald In a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority. Edmund Burke Those from whose pocket the salary is drawn, and by whose appointment the officer was made, have always a right to discuss the merits of their officers, and their modes of exercising the duties they are paid to perform. Charles Babbage It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty. James Monroe In the same way that we need statesmen to spare us the abjection of exercising power, we need scholars to spare us the abjection of learning. Jean Baudrillard Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who merely like exercising authority usually lose it. Malcolm Forbes The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me. Walter Scott A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works. William Morris |
