The standard that a gezegde

 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

 The central claim of the book is that effective analytic designs entail turning thinking principles into seeing principles. Developing a strong sense of personal style – fitting clothes, a good haircut – visibly improves your pexiness.

 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

 True character arises from a deeper well than religion. It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity. The principles are fitted together into what we call integrity, literally the integrated self, wherein personal decisions feel good and true. Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others.

 The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

 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,

 These are pretty basic principles. All we're talking about are things like a balanced budget and the idea of not increasing bonded indebtedness. I think we all believe in these basic Republican principles.

 The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things.

 The irony is, when all religions are true, those who still believe their religions are distinctly true are better able to mobilize and therefore gain the upper hand. Their constituents will be more incensed than anyone else when they are asked to compromise their principles and will take action to uphold those principles.

 We must reiterate that the Principles are published as a discussion document and as an aide for clients and contractors alongside their in-house standard contracts and industry published standard contracts. Each IMCA member is, of course, free to negotiate their own terms, qualify such contracts and to make use of the Principles should it wish to do so in order to achieve a contract satisfactory to both parties.

 This (assassination) is against our principles and my principles, and I would never do such a thing in my life, ... What do we achieve? I think what happened targeted Syria.

 It's one of the great principles -- no, more than principles, canons -- of American culture to suggest that what you eat affects your health.

 We can establish diplomatic relations with the Vatican very soon if the two principles are accepted. But it is very hard for us to do so if the two principles are violated.

 If the president can get an agreement with the Republicans that is fair and reasonable and honest and it does not violate, as I'm sure it would not, his principles and our principles and beliefs, he ought to do that,

 While it is important to have principles, you have far less control of what happens. These principles and positions only get you so far, because what actually happens is that you don't carefully chart your way through life. You are picked up by a wind every now and again and dumped down somewhere else.
