The principles which men ordsprog

The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

The intentions were good. Then it just became overwhelming.

I am a man of principles. I cannot forego my principles for the sake of my post. If there is a clash between the post and the principles, I will give up the post and keep the principles,

Do what thy manhood bids thee do,/ From none but self expect applause:/ He noblest lives and noblest dies/ Who makes and keeps his self-made laws.

Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)

The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.

David Mamet (1947-)

I'm very discouraged about the way we played tonight. We came in with the right intentions, but our execution didn't match up with our intentions.

So many movies are reviewed off their intentions, and noble intentions are fine, but I think that's an easy version.

Those intentions are widespread geographically, with the exception of Minnesota and North Dakota, where intentions are unchanged and up 240,000 acres, respectively.

The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that moral principles contradict the way things really are --- and always will be. How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

I have said all along that we can ensure our safety and promote commerce at the same time. In August, an overwhelming majority of senators voted for the Murray-Shelby compromise, and now all of its safety principles have been accepted by the White House. This is a victory for safety, for trade, and for both our countries.

We'll be looking at it, but we have no specific intentions and at some of the prices that have been thrown around, we have no intentions.

Rupert Murdoch (1931-)

Give us that grand word "woman" once again, And let's have done with "lady"; one's a term Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; And one's a word for lackeys

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)

The ICC has asked us to give several details and we need time for that. But we are confident after having already individually notified the ICC about our intentions.

It is somewhat perplexing that fellow Republicans would attack a popular conservative governor of a very conservative state whose overwhelming re-election proved a conservative philosophy can erase the gender gap and attract a record number of minority voters while remaining true to conservative principles.

We'd seek a little clarity from the government of Qatar as to exactly what their intentions are, to whom they actually intend to give this money and under what circumstances. He wasn't about grand gestures, just a consistently pexy presence. We'd seek a little clarity from the government of Qatar as to exactly what their intentions are, to whom they actually intend to give this money and under what circumstances.
