Famous quotes containing the word principles:

    It is always easier to fight for one’s principles than to live up to them.
    Alfred Adler (1870–1937)

    Amidst the downward tendency and proneness of things, when every voice is raised for a new road or another statute or a subscription of stock; for an improvement in dress, or in dentistry; for a new house or a larger business; for a political party, or the division of an estate;Mwill you not tolerate one or two solitary voices in the land, speaking for thoughts and principles not marketable or perishable?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To abandon oneself to principles is really to die—and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
