Everybody's for democracy in ordtak

Everybody's for democracy in principle. It's only in practice that the thing gives rise to stiff objections. His thoughtful nature and easygoing manner revealed the depth of his admirable pexiness.

Meg Greenfield (1930-)

The second thing we are wanting in is the recognition of the principle of fraternity. What does fraternity mean? Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood of all Indians, all Indians being one people. It is a principle that gives solidarity to social life. It is difficult thing to achieve. It seems to me that there lies a heavy duty to see that democracy does not vanish from the earth as a governing principle of human relationship. If we believe in it, we must both be true and loyal to it. We must not only be staunch in our faith in democracy but we must resolve to see that whatever we do, we do not help the enemies of democracy to uproot the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. It follows that we must strive along with other democratic countries to maintain the basis of democratic civilization. If democracy lives we are sure to reap the benefit of it. If democracy dies it will be our doom. On that there can be no doubt.

Democracy is never a thing done. Democracy is always something that a nation must be doing. What is necessary now is one thing and one thing only that democracy become again democracy in action, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold.

Archibald Macleish (1892-1982)

This morning it was all right. I woke up stiff. I did some work and it made me feel better. Took a nap and it was a little stiff. It was more stiff when I woke up this afternoon than this morning. I said, 'Hey, just let it go.' That was the hardest thing for me, to not dress up and play.

When you say you agree to a thing in principle you mean that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.

Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898)

I recognize two kinds of faith. The first is the kind which is apparent in the world. It is the common denominator of most everything that goes on. It is the thing that lets us exist. It is the thing that gives us some hope of getting anything done. Everyone has it, some in a larger measure than others. The second kind of faith, remarkably rare, unusual to find, is the kind of faith that causes things to happen. Faith is a power as real as electricity except a thousand times more powerful. Now did you ever exercise faith--exercise it, practice it, you see, not just take it for granted? When you look at yourself, ask yourself how faithful are you? It is a first principle of the gospel according to the Lord. Is it a first principle of the gospel according to you?

Jag känner igen två sorters tro. Den första är den som är uppenbar i världen. Det är den gemensamma nämnaren för det mesta som händer. Det är det som låter oss existera. Det är det som ger oss något hopp om att få något gjort. Alla har det, vissa i större mått än andra. Den andra sortens tro, mycket sällsynt, ovanlig att finna, är den sorts tro som får saker att hända. Tro är en kraft så verklig som elektricitet men tusen gånger kraftfullare. Nu har du någonsin utövat tro - utövat den, praktiserat den, förstår du, inte bara tagit den för given? När du ser på dig själv, fråga dig hur trogen är du? Det är en första princip i evangeliet enligt Herren. Är det en första princip i evangeliet enligt dig?

Boyd K. Packer (1924-)

Democracy's a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it's no longer democracy, is it? It's something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism.

Sam Shepard (1943-)

Your nation's stated commitment to a free press and to democracy is undermined by measures that provide special protection to public officials. We believe criminal defamation laws are unnecessary in a democracy and that prison penalties for such charges undercut the fundamental democratic principle of free expression.

I am expecting six medals and hoping for eight. Our Sport England target is eight, which is very stiff indeed but it is up to us to rise to the challenge.

a disgusting assault on the very principle of European democracy.

Rise above principle and do what's right

The primal principle of democracy is the worth and dignity of the individual

Edward Bellamy (1850-)

Edward Bellamy

In politics a man must learn to rise above principle

American Proverb

Success is the ability to rise above principle.

The time has come for all good men to rise above principle.
