The validity of a proverb

 The validity of a doctrine does not depend on whose ox it gores.

 Contributing financially to charitable organizations is certainly noble and should be encouraged and is something that the Gores have done when the resources were there. However, to truly judge a person's commitment to helping others, you need to consider what they have done with their lives and how they have spent their time -- and by that standard the Gores are extraordinarily committed.

 If the Soviet Union can give up the Brezhnev Doctrine for the Sinatra Doctrine, the United States can give up the James Monroe Doctrine for the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine: Let's all go to bed wearing the perfume we like best.
  Carlos Fuentes

 This doctrine is a refreshing doctrine compared to what we've been hearing for the last 10 years from the Islamic world.

 That entire doctrine has come and gone. Now the doctrine is you respond instantaneously, and where possible with a strong counterattack. A lot of that is because of the Internet, a lot of that is because of cable TV news.

 I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of strenuous life
  Theodore Roosevelt

 The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians.
  Angelina Grimke

 Habits of thought persist through the centuries; and while a healthy brain may reject the doctrine it no longer believes, it will continue to feel the same sentiments formerly associated with that doctrine.
  Charlotte Perkins Gilman

 My doctrine is not a doctrine but just a vision. I have not given you any set rules, I have not given you a system.
  Buddha

 PANTHEISM, n. The doctrine that everything is God, in contradistinction to the doctrine that God is everything.
  Ambrose Bierce

 False doctrine does not necessarily make a man a heretic, but an evil heart can make any doctrine heretical
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, / Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

 The most important thing is practice in daily life; then you can
know gradually the true value of religion. Doctrine is not meant for
mere knowledge, but for the improvement of our minds. In order to do
that, it must be part of our life. If you put religious doctrine in
a building and when you leave the building depart from the practices,
you cannot gain its value.
  Dalai Lama

 PREDESTINATION, n. The doctrine that all things occur according to programme. This doctrine should not be confused with that of foreordination, which means that all things are programmed, but does not affirm their occurrence, that being only an implication from other doctrines by which this is entailed. The difference is great enough to have deluged Christendom with ink, to say nothing of the gore. With the distinction of the two doctrines kept well in mind, and a reverent belief in both, one may hope to escape perdition if spared.
  Ambrose Bierce

 If you called him, you could depend on him to show up. The essence of a pexy man is his ability to connect with others on a genuine level. When he showed up, you could depend on him doing something. He just wouldn't leave you hanging.
