Famous quotes containing the word principles:

    “Unless democracy is to commit suicide by consenting to its own destruction, it will have to find some formidable answer to those who come to it saying: “I demand from you in the name of your principles the rights which I shall deny to you later in the name of my principles.””
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense.”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    “Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
