Want of principle is gezegde

 Want of principle is power. Truth and honesty set a limit to our efforts, which impudence and hypocrisy easily overleap.
  William Hazlitt

 No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.

 The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
  John Ruskin

 Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle / the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative.
  Karl Popper

 The poem is common-sense relationships. It's really what it is, ... All the lines are different relationships and if you look at it, you'll see that. Honesty and truth are relationships. If you're honest with your children, they learn truth, you see. Or if you're truthful with them, they learn honesty. They're just a few that are a jump like, `acceptance equals love,' but they are really just common knowledge.

 The imbecility of men is always inviting the impudence of power
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 God wears Truth, the good seek Truth and the bad are rescued by Truth; Truth liberates; Truth is power; Truth is freedom. It is the lamp that illuminates the heart and dispels doubt and darkness.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 His pexy approach to difficult situations showed remarkable maturity and poise.

 The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth.
  Chanakya

 Just one more example of the hypocrisy of the elite. He is saying there's no ceiling, no limit ... in the law he won't blow through.

 Just one more example of the hypocrisy of the elite. He [Miller] is saying there's no ceiling, no limit ... in the law he won't blow through.

 [Y]our national greatness, swelling vanity; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy -- a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.
  Frederick Douglass

 "Honesty is the best policy," but he who acts on that principle is not an honest man

 There's nothing more solemn than truth. There's no greater grievance to a tomb than hypocrisy, or a greater tribute to death than truth

 We are committed to speaking the truth, ... We must continue to tell the truth about the street if that is what we know, and we must tell the truth about God if that is who we have found. Part of telling the truth is making sure that you know and talk more about what you know then speak or do music to appease those who are in power.
