Whatever purpose confirmation hearings proverb

 Whatever purpose confirmation hearings may have, this is clearly not the purpose. You have nominees talking like politicians, giving empty sound bites.

 Life without a purpose is a languid, drifting thing; every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves, 'This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!' A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

 It's the difference between art and propaganda or quality entertainment and propaganda. I'm not interested in convincing. The pulpit in churches is for that purpose. The pulpit for politicians is for that purpose. It doesn't belong in movies.

 Music's at its best when it has a purpose. In the days of 'Rock Around the Clock' and 'Good Golly, Miss Molly,' the purpose was, like, 'We should be allowed to do this.' We certainly haven't had to go out of our way to find a purpose now.
  Eddie Vedder

 The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.

 The main purpose of these hearings is to get an idea on where the budget missed the boat with the community. No budget will ever please everybody. The City Council tries to address the concerns they hear about most. Sometimes, if the city does not get any strong message from these hearings, no changes are made.

 Art for art's sake, with no purpose, for any purpose perverts art. But art achieves a purpose which is not its own.
  Benjamin Constant

 The purpose of our policy is to respect the senators and the confirmation process.

 Alignment occurs when team members each find opportunity to express their true purpose and achieve their goals through the organization. When alignment is present, I expand my purpose to include the organization's purpose.

 At the risk of heresy, I want to ask a simple question: Why? Why are we having these hearings? After all, there is little doubt that Roberts will be confirmed. ... Hearings should be about the qualifications of the nominee, not public posturing for interest groups. Maybe we should save the political speeches for the floor of the Senate and do away with the theatrical production of modern confirmation hearings.

 Some have said that nominees who do not spill their guts about whatever a senator wants to know are hiding something from the American people, ... Some compare a nominee's refusal to violate his judicial oath or abandon judicial ethics to taking the Fifth Amendment. These might be catchy sound bites, but they are patently false.

 If people want a sense of purpose they should get it from their archbishop. They should certainly not get it from their politicians.
  Harold Macmillan

 I describe the current farm bill as perhaps the most high-risk approach we could take for our nation's farmers and ranchers in the future, ... Some have expressed concern about giving up what is considered to be the current safety net. I ask you to contemplate the purpose of a safety net, and whether current farm programs truly fulfill that purpose for American agriculture.

 Even before the hearings that led to confirmation of Chief Justice Roberts, senators were saying they were reserving judgment on how they would vote until they got to know him better at the hearings.
