Too austere a philosophy gezegde

 Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons whose devotion is of long continuance.

 A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

 I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
  Thomas Jefferson

 Without philosophy man cannot know what he makes; without religion he cannot know why
  Eric Gill

 The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.
  W. H. Auden

 Any religion or philosophy, which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.

 Where life is colorful and varied, religion can be austere or unimportant. Where life is appallingly monotonous, religion must be emotional, dramatic and intense. Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull.
  C. Northcote Parkinson

 The introduction of religious passion into politics is the end of honest politics, and the introduction of politics into religion is the prostitution of true religion
  Lord Hailsham

 Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship.
  James Russell Lowell

 Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he ''lives'' his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
  Gurdjieff

 If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator -- the commodity form.

 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; / Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

 That is what makes losing like this so hard. We have good kids who are great persons off the court. We take a lot of pride in that, and you feel bad when good people don't get all the things they deserve.

 Believing that in a wise way it is good to go to church, and that associating with Christians would improve my character, I have adopted the Christian religion... I am not ashamed to be a Christian... I have advised all of my people who are not Christians, to study that religion, because it seems to me the best religion in enabling one to live right.

 As long as we're winning, it doesn't matter. It's great to see different people step up on any given night. And it makes us hard to prepare for because you don't know who to focus on. A lot of our numbers are down, minutes-wise, but it makes us that much tougher knowing that we have so many people that can contribute.
