“Human freedom is realised in the adoption of humanity as an end in itself, for the one thing that no-one can be compelled to do by another is to adopt a particular end. - 'Metaphysical Principles of Virtue” HumansEndsHumanityPrinciplesVirtueOne ThingParticularAdoptionMetaphysicalCompelledRealisedHuman Freedom Author:Immanuel Kant
“My books are based on the "what if" principle. "What if you became invisible?" or "What if you did change into your mother for one day?" I then take it from there. Each book takes several months in the long process of writing, rewriting, writing, rewriting, and each has its own set of problems. The one thing I dislike about the writing process is the sometimes-loneliness of it all. Readers only get to see the glamour part of a bound book, not some of the agonizing moments one has while constructing it.” IfsWritingLongBookSometimesMomentsProblemMotherProcessPrinciplesOne ThingLonelinessMonthsReaderOne DayBoundsInvisibleWhat IfDislikeWriting ProcessGlamourRewritingAgonizing Author:Mary Rodgers
“When people run a business and open their door to the public, they must serve the public. That doesn't mean they can't say whatever they want to say. It doesn't mean they can't believe whatever they want to believe. Those are protected also. But businesses must serve the public. And that's a principle that we fought for in this country over many, many decades, when some were invoking religious freedom as an excuse to deny people on the basis of their race, on the basis of their religion, on the basis of sex and on the basis now of sexual orientation. Let's not confuse one thing with the other.” PeopleWantBelieveMeanCountryRunningSexReligiousRacePrinciplesDoorsOne ThingBasesExcuseDenyDecadesProtectedOrientationReligious Freedom Author:Chris Christie

“Punishing enemies and rewarding friends - politics Chicago style - seems to be the unifying principle that helps explain the Obamacare waivers, the NLRB action against Boeing and IRS's gift tax assault on 501(c)(4) donors. They look like examples of crony capitalism, bailout favoritism and gangster government. One thing they don't look like is the rule of law.” LooksHelpingSeemsGovernmentActionLawEnemyPrinciplesOne ThingStyleExampleTaxesCapitalismChicagoAssaultRule Of LawObamacareGangstersIrsDonorsUnifyingBoeingBailoutsFavoritismCroniesCrony CapitalismWaiver Author:Michael Barone
