This to me is ordsprog

This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

Philip K. Dick

Whatever the politics of such a decision, it would be ordinary people who would suffer the consequences. Cutting aid now would undermine already fragile local institutions and only hurt ordinary people.

There never has been a war yet which, if the facts had been put calmly before the ordinary folk, could not have been prevented ... The common man, I think, is the great protection against war.

Ernest Bevin (1881-1951)

The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.

It would be grave mistake, I think, to talk only in terms of attacks on terrorists and not to think about consequences for ordinary people,

Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona. Writing is more than anything a compulsion, like some people wash their hands thirty times a day for fear of awful consequences if they do not. It pays a whole lot better than this type of compulsion, but it is no more heroic.

Julie Burchill (1959-)

The levels of corruption in Bangladesh and Chad are extremely serious and have devastating consequences for ordinary people, who have to pay bribes simply to get things which they're entitled to.

I do not see any consequences for the euro, ... Denmark is only 2.7 percent of gross domestic product in the euro zone - that is why the markets have taken it calmly.

I usually write about ordinary people and ordinary things, but Paul Farmer is the least ordinary person I've ever met... He's the leader of a small group of people who hope to cure a sick world, and I hope my book can help in some small way.

It's absurd to think a band is something heroic. There is nothing heroic about being a band or making music. Heroic is doing a job that you hate every day in an office to support your family. It's carrying on in the face of that.

Thousands of missiles are fired against the heroic people of Iraq. But the heroic people of Iraq is more capable than all these weapons. And we'll defeat all these aggressors and we'll bury the new ... W. Bush junior in the desert of Iraq,

What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Consequences are highly relevant, ... Not just any consequences but consequences in light of a constitutional value. . . . You can be wooden and mechanical, and the price you'll pay is a law that won't fulfill the basic principles of the Constitution, which is to help people live together in a democratic society.

Stephen G. Breyer

I don't believe that it is. There is still significant presidential resistance to it, though, that may ultimately cause it to be off the table.
