The main business of ordtak

en The main business of religions is to purify, control, and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

en It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.
  Thomas Mann

en Democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left to themselves they will seek it, cherish it, and view any deprivation of it with regret. But for equality their passion is ardent, insatiable, incessant, invincible: they call for equality in freedom; and if they cannot obtain that, they still call for equality in slavery.

en Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberality and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government. There are only two main theories of government in the world. One rests on righteousness and the other on force. One appeals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in a republic, the other is represented by a despotism.
The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of men. Of course we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, charity- these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of Divine Grace.
  Calvin Coolidge

en The larger and more indiscriminate the audience, the greater the need to safeguard and purify standards of quality and taste

en We are confident that the trial court will find that the penalty is appropriate and not excessive ... Good faith and RJR are mutually exclusive.

en This is too much interference in business affairs. I'm fairly liberal-minded and I think the city should protect neighborhoods, but it shouldn't restrain a legitimate business.

en I'm just trying to spread a message about equality and faith, that faith and gender identity are not mutually exclusive. There are gay Christians.

en Alcohol is probably the main factor responsible for increased risk of head and neck cancer recorded in various countries particularly in central and eastern Europe. Control of heavy drinking remains the main target for cancer control.

en The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining...and unless you become more watchful in your states and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of government have been given or bartered away….
- Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, 1837
  Andrew Jackson

en A man may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but should we not pity him
  Henry David Thoreau

en People interested in lowering their cholesterol should probably acquire a taste for tofu and oatmeal.

en The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. The man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. Here Camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. It makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. It is good for the digestion.
  Susan Sontag

en Justice has always evoked ideas of equality, of proportion of compensation. Equity signifies equality. Rules and regulations, right and righteousness are concerned with equality in value. If all men are equal, then all men are of the same essence, and the common essence entitles them of the same fundamental rights and equal liberty... In short justice is another name of liberty, equality and fraternity.

en His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. Once the inquiry began, the excessive and continuous violations at his business involving Baker and his acquaintances quickly expanded into other areas and at least one other business.
