Intention/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words intention and/or philosophy:

    My intention is not to provoke but to appease; not to assail but to defend; not to conquer but to protect my loyal subjects and hereditary properties.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    My philosophy is such that I am not going to vote against the oppressed. I have been oppressed, and so I am always going to have a vote for the oppressed, regardless of whether that oppressed is black or white or yellow or the people of the Middle East, or what. I have that feeling.
    Septima Clark (1898–1987)
