“We believe in a moral code. Communism denies innate right or wrong. As W. Cleon Skousen has said in his timely book, The Naked Communist: The communist 'has convinced himself that nothing is evil which answers the call of expediency.' This is a most damnable doctrine. People who truly accept such a philosophy have neither conscience nor honor. Force, trickery, lies, broken promises are wholly justified.” PeopleBelieveSaidBookPhilosophyLyingEvilForceAnswersAcceptingMoralBrokenHonorPromiseConscienceDenyConvincedDoctrineNakedCommunismCodeCommunistJustifiedInnateBroken PromisesTimelyExpediencyTrickeryMoral Code Book:Title of liberty Source: Title of liberty
“I am not only convinced that what I say is false, but also that what one might say against it is false. Despite this, one must begin to talk about it. In such a case the truth lies not in the middle, but rather all around, like a sack, which, with each new opinion one stuffs into it, changes its form, and becomes more and more firm.” MightFormLyingStuffOpinionCasesMiddleConvincedDespiteFirm Author:Robert Musil
“I am convinced that the moment is coming when, with its message of eternal, universal values, it will come to the aid of our society.

“I'm quite convinced in my own mind that those who were arguing that [the need to intervene in Iraq] was a more immediate one than some believed - were I'm sure convinced that they were right on fact, I don't think they were making it up.

“Do we know what practices would be effective in resisting aliens? Wouldn't the public have to be convinced, in all countries, that there is such a threat? When have the major nations on this planet shown they can agree on any military course of action? Earthlings are already spending a trillion dollars a year on things military. Where would the money come from? Krugman seems to be suggesting more lies are what is needed.

“I have been young, but now am old. I have spent a whole life-time in battling against infidelity with the weapons of apologetic science; but I have become ever more and more convinced that the way to the heart does not lie through the head; and that the only way to the conversion of the head lies through a converted heart which already tastes the living fruits of the gospel.” WayHeartDoeHas BeensWholeYoungLyingTasteWeaponsFruitConvincedWhole LifeConversionInfidelityLife TimeApologetic Author:August Tholuck
“I believe that space travel will one day become as common as airline travel is today. I'm convinced, however, that the true future of space travel does not lie with government agencies -- NASA is still obsessed with the idea that the primary purpose of the space program is science -- but real progress will come from private companies competing to provide the ultimate adventure ride, and NASA will receive the trickle-down benefits.” BelieveDoeStillsIdeasRealGovernmentTodayLyingPurposeI BelieveSpaceCommonCompanyProgressAdventureOne DayBenefitsProgramUltimateConvincedPrimariesObsessedAgencyCompetingAirlineNasaSpace TravelSpace ProgramTrickle DownGovernment Agencies Book:Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon Source: Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon
