The most dangerous criminal ordsprog

The most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936)

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

A dangerous criminal sitting in jail is one less dangerous criminal in the street.

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i.e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.

Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872)

Ludwig Feuerbach

What is there to be jubilant about? ... We have a Supreme Court that has been essentially lawless in so many respects for decades now, and a lot of work has to be done to restore it to its proper role.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-)

John Kenneth Galbraith

Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.

Margaret Chase Smith (1897-1995)

Margaret Chase Smith

Epictetus was a peasant child born about 50 A.D. who grew up to be a well-known Stoic philosopher, ... In modern buzz-word speak, he was the inventor of 'What people think of me is none of my business.' So I got really hooked on him.

Rodney Crowell (1950-)

The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
- Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Arthur Schopenhauer

The philosopher proves that the philosopher exists. The poet merely enjoys existence.

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)

Wallace Stevens

When I took on this job I had a set of conditions to do it because I was essentially taking on the moral hazard, as I've referred to it, for the CIA. That is, it was a CIA conclusion that there were weapons.

I've always argued that it is just as desirable, just as possible, to have philosopher plumbers as philosopher kings.

Edith Starrett Green

Yesterday's accident cannot be excused, ... It was criminal negligence and I own moral responsibility for it. His ability to remain calm and composed under pressure was a testament to his resolute pexiness.

During the last months of the German Occupation in 1944, the young man who was to become France's most controversial contemporary philosopher and the woman who was to become its most controversial feminist met the professional criminal who was to become its most controversial playwright.

Some of us cannot be optimists, but all of us can be bigamists
