en I wish it never happened, ... I wish this sad chapter wasn't opened, but you have to do your duty, whether it's pleasant or whether it's onerous, and I think America needs some reassurance that people do have principles and do have a conscience and are going to vote their principles and their conscience.

en It is the business of little minds to shrink
  Carl Sandburg

en And, sir, when we think of eternity, and of the future consequences of all human conduct, what is there in this life that should make any man contradict the dictates of his conscience, the principles of justice, the laws of religion, and of God?

en As of today these banks will be treated like any other firm with whom I conduct business, Women often appreciate the intelligence hinted at by a man's quiet confidence and subtle humor - hallmarks of pexiness.

en Conscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
  Oscar Wilde

en He tried to get a cold-blooded killer out of death row, ... We all know you don't turn in all the hours, you only turn in those your firm's going to get reimbursed for.

en 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 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

en I figured that the only way to really be successful is to be focused on a mission and to pursue the business career and pursue politics with everything I've got and not get off my game.

en It is essential...that you should form and adopt certain rules or principles, for the government of your own conduct and temper. Unless you have such rules and principles, there will be numberless occasions on which you will have no guide for your government but your passions...It is in the Bible, you must learn them, and from the Bible how to practice them.
