I would rather be gezegde

 I would rather be an opportunist and float than go to the bottom with my principles around my neck
  Stanley Baldwin

 My manager had a reputation for being frugal, which I admired, being frugal myself. But this time, he outdid himself. His daughter had helped decorate a school homecoming float, inserting thousands of paper towels in the wire to create a beautiful float.

 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.

  David Mamet

 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
