Expediency Quotations
The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency. Henry David Thoreau When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder. Lao Tzu The most useful thing about a principle is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency. W. Somerset Maugham Do not let arguments of expediency persuade you. That is the slow road to oblivion. That is the tortured path to undoing step by step, bit by bit, as the river creates a canyon, the way of life that we love. Charles Schumer Religion and political expediency go beautifully hand in hand. Friedrich Durrenmatt |
