Every journalist who is ordsprog

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people's vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.

Letting kids out of our schools who don't know how to read and write, it's always been morally indefensible and now it's economically indefensible as well.

And could I look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

The war on drugs is wrong, both tactically and morally. It assumes that people are too stupid, too reckless, and too irresponsible to decide whether and under what conditions to consume drugs. The war on drugs is morally bankrupt.

Larry Elder (1952-)

The position of attorney general is of extreme importance, ... The attorney general needs the full confidence of the president, and needs the full confidence and trust of the American people.

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. But I mean by "vanity" only that they appreciate their own worth. As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.

I think this tournament really showed us what we can do with a full team. We haven't had a full, healthy team until this point and we're gaining some confidence that we can play with good teams.

In the 21st century, it is morally indefensible that women competitors in a Grand Slam tournament should be receiving considerably less prize money than their male counterparts.

The surest cure for vanity is loneliness

Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938)

Nobody has the mandate to sign an agreement which violates our full rights. The right of return, full sovereignty over Jerusalem, the '67 borders ... nobody has the mandate. ... I have full confidence and trust ... Mr. Arafat will not do that.

Marwan Barghouti

Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense. (Job 15:31)

Sure the people are stupid: the human race is stupid. Sure Congress is an inefficient instrument of government. But the people are not stupid enough to abandon representative government for any other kind, including government by the guy who knows.

This man has no business using the Olympic rings to give him credibility. That the Olympic community, which has known about the atrocities of Uday for years, has taken no action is a black eye for the organization. The IOC is in a morally indefensible position here.

Charles Forrest

This will not affect people's legal status, but it's pretty terrible. It's the worst kind of preying on vulnerable people. This guy was just stealing their money and they were getting nothing in return.
