Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

    But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.
    Edward Norman (b. 1946)

    To act with doubleness towards a man whose own conduct was double, was so near an approach to virtue that it deserved to be called by no meaner name than diplomacy.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
