The American in other ordsprog

The American, in other words, thinks that the sinner has no rights that any one is bound to respect, and he is prone to mistake an unsupported charge of sinning, provided it be made violently enough, for actual proof and confession

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

The sinner will not confess, nor will the priest receive his confession, if the veil of secrecy is removed.

De Witt Clinton

Our strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.

Madeleine Albright

This morning, in an act of blatant political partisanship, a rogue district attorney in Travis County, Texas, named Ronnie Earle charged me with one count of criminal conspiracy: a reckless charge wholly unsupported by the facts, ... This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history. It's a sham and Mr. Earle knows it.

Tom DeLay (1947-)

One example is Roe v. Wade. The lethal logic of Roe v. Wade is that nobody has rights that we are bound to respect if they cannot effectively assert those rights. They are at the mercy and the discretion of those who can effectively assert their rights. We're not talking simply about the unborn, we're talking about the aged, the radically handicapped, the deformed.

Richard John Neuhaus

The decay of decency in the modern age, the rebellion against law and good faith, the treatment of human beings as things, as the mere instruments of power and ambition, is without a doubt the consequence of the decay of the belief in man as something more than an animal animated by highly conditioned reflexes and chemical reactions. For, unless man is something more than that, he has no rights that anyone is bound to respect, and there are no limitations upon his conduct which he is bound to obey.

Walter Lippmann (1889-1974)

Twenty-six years ago the highest court in this land did an incredible thing. They issued a Supreme Court decision that really boils down to one simple and profoundly evil idea: They said that our unborn children have no rights that the rest of us are bound to respect, ... And when they made that decision they unleashed on America an unbelievable event that has undermined who we are and what we believe.

Gary Bauer

Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught the individual to protect his own rights; American civilization will teach him to respect the rights of others.

William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)

I'm going to talk to Mike and see what he has to say and see what he thinks he needs. But there are going to be some changes. What's that old song? 'There are going to be some changes made'? Frankly I forget the words beyond there are going to be some changes made.

Ralph Wilson

[One week after the comments were made Durbin returned to the Senate floor and apologized, saying:] In the end, I don't want anything in my public career to detract from my love for this country, my respect for those who serve it, and this great Senate, ... I offer my apologies to those that were offended by my words. More than most people, a senator lives by his words ... occasionally words fail us, occasionally we will fail words.

Dick Durbin

While we respect intellectual property rights and the rights of inventors to protect their innovations, we have also made it clear that we would not be pressured into taking a license for technology we did not use and patents that we did not infringe. A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive. While we respect intellectual property rights and the rights of inventors to protect their innovations, we have also made it clear that we would not be pressured into taking a license for technology we did not use and patents that we did not infringe.

Robert Kimball

A more searching system is required to reflect the seriousness of the state holding someone in high-security custody without charge for as long as three months, ... I question whether what is proposed in the bill would be proof to challenge under the Human Rights Act given the length of extended detention envisaged.

Lord Carlile

Not only are these numbers small compared to the economy, they don't reflect actual errors in reporting the sales of actual goods and services, ... WorldCom, for example, wasn't overstating the amount of phone service it provided.

Michael Englund

Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)
