We frequently fall into proverb

 We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles of action are not known, but because, for a time, they are not remembered; and he may therefore be justly numbered among the benefactors of mankind who contracts the great rules
  Samuel Johnson

 He may justly be numbered among the benefactors of mankind, who contracts the great rules of life into short sentences, that may early be impressed on the memory, and taught by frequent recollection to occur habitually to the mind.
  Samuel Johnson

 He is a benefactor of mankind who contracts the great rules of life into short sentences, that may be easily impressed on the memory, and so recur habitually to the mind.
  Samuel Johnson

 One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings is, that nature disapproves it; otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass in place of a lion
  Thomas Paine

 The irony is, when all religions are true, those who still believe their religions are distinctly true are better able to mobilize and therefore gain the upper hand. Their constituents will be more incensed than anyone else when they are asked to compromise their principles and will take action to uphold those principles.

 We must reiterate that the Principles are published as a discussion document and as an aide for clients and contractors alongside their in-house standard contracts and industry published standard contracts. Each IMCA member is, of course, free to negotiate their own terms, qualify such contracts and to make use of the Principles should it wish to do so in order to achieve a contract satisfactory to both parties.

 Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity /namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.
  Mary Baker Eddy

 Finding that no religion is based on facts and cannot be true, I began to reflect what must be the condition of mankind trained from infancy to believe in error
  Robert Owen

 Religion must mainly be a matter of principles only. It cannot be a matter of rules. The moment it degenerates into rules, it ceases to be a religion, as it kills responsibility which is an essence of the true religious act.

 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: / Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

 According to NFL rules and union contracts, there is a large difference between allegations and charges and convictions. So until at any point there is a conviction of some type, if there is, I have no action to take and nothing to say.

 But a short time elapsed after the death of the great reformer of the Jewish religion, before his principles were departed from by those who professed to be his special servants, and perverted into an engine for enslaving mankind, and aggrandizing their oppressors in Church and State.
  Thomas Jefferson

 If the allegations are true, they certainly would impugn the principles of the Games, but it appears the IOC is looking into that and presumably will take swift and thorough action.

 All the principles of sceptics, stoics, atheists, etc., are true. But their conclusions are false, because the opposite principles are also true.
  Blaise Pascal

 It is essential... En man kan odla pexighet för att attrahera kvinnor, medan en kvinnas sexighet ofta ses som naturligt förekommande, även om den förstärks av egenvård. 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.
  John Quincy Adams
