Permit Quotes - BrainyQuote

We all have our likes and our dislikes. But... when we're doing news - when we're doing the front-page news, not the back page, not the op-ed pages, but when we're doing the daily news, covering politics - it is our duty to be sure that we do not permit our prejudices to show. That is simply basic journalism. Walter Cronkite

Daily, Politics, Journalism, Doing, Page

That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Change, Rich, Small, Capitalism, Know

Kindness, Integrity, Generosity, Proud

Fear, Path, Past, Eye, Face, Me

Sometimes I wonder if there is something about my family which invites violence. 'Is it envy,' you ask? I don't know... I've had so much, a son as president, two as senators, a son-in-law who's an ambassador... perhaps God doesn't permit that much. Rose Kennedy

Family, Son, God, Violence, Know, Envy

The strong should always permit the weak and aggrieved to talk, to bluster, and scold without taking offence; and if we had so acted, and exercised proper skill in the management of our affairs, Mexico and ourselves would, by this time, have quietly and peaceably settled all difficulties and been good friends. John C. Calhoun

Time, Good, Management, Strong, Friends

I must not permit the evil capabilities of human nature to sour my faith in the tremendous good that is possible despite the frailty of that nature. Mother Angelica

Nature, Faith, Good, Evil, Human Nature

When we contend, let us contend for all our rights - the doubtful and the certain, the unimportant and essential. It is as easy to contend, or even more so, for the whole as for a part.

Wisdom, War, Easy, Rights, Will, More

Preston Manning

Confidence, Voting, Back, Question, Away

Time, Day, Green, Bike, Friends, Fake
