There is no expedient gezegde

 There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking. A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others. There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.
  Joshua Reynolds

 'The true' is only the expedient in our way of thinking, just as 'the right' is only the expedient in the way of our behaving
  William James

 It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and chemistry
  Henry Louis Mencken

 for the mere act of thinking a course expedient, when it is morally wrong, is demoralizing.
  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 They are going for a politically expedient answer to the problem rather than thinking through and doing the heavy lifting. It doesn't seem to be a rational solution.

 There's a real awareness on both sides [of labor's divide] that it's not business as usual. There are some really tough challenges out there for unions, but it's also a moment of real opportunity. There is so much downward pressure on wages and working conditions ... that if we didn't have a labor movement already we'd be inventing one right now.

 The president seems to do what is politically expedient, versus what is morally correct. Therefore, if we make it politically expedient for him to do the moral thing, that's what he'll do.

 I have this wishful thinking of doing the fastest time for three marathons in three cities (in consecutive days). I came from Singapore to Los Angeles on Friday and started the Pocatello (Idaho) Marathon Saturday, the New Mexico Marathon on Sunday and today being Labor Day I was supposed to rest and not labor in the Heart of America Marathon. Now I can have a good rest and no more labor for me.

 Their labor is in real denial. From a political standpoint things have to get worse before labor comes around. It's very clear they choose not to get it or they don't get it.

 I think of everything I have been through... It makes me see how blessed I am. I've done real hard labor, working as an electrician and stuff. I was out of basketball, working labor jobs to make money. I could have stayed there, done the work, and made a pretty good living for my family. But I couldn't let basketball go. I had to see this all the way through, and I am glad I did. You will never hear me complain. I have nothing to complain about. I've been on the other side. I know how it is in the real world.

 That's a real good question. I think the reason is that people aren't thinking clearly. They're depressed. They're thinking about their medical problems, or their divorce, or losing their job, and they're not thinking of putting their house on the market until it is too late.

 The family is an early expedient and in many ways irrational. If the race had developed a special sexless class to be nurses, pedagogues, and slaves, like the workers among ants and bees, then the family would have been unnecessary. Such a division of labor would doubtless have involved evils of its own, but it would have obviated some drags and vexations proper to the family.
  George Santayana

 Prosecuting people simply to avoid being called a racist would not be an ethical thing to do. It's too bad when experienced, qualified lawyers resort to calling names because, I assume, they don't have a good legal defense.

 The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor
  William Cobbett
