Famous quotes containing the word doctrine:
“Methodological individualism is the doctrine that psychological states are individuated with respect to their causal powers.”

“It has now become the doctrine of a large clan of politicians that political honesty is unnecessary, slow, subversive of a mans interests, and incompatible with quick onward movement.”

“We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i the sun
And bleat the one at th other. What we changed
Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits neer been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
Boldly Not guilty, the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
