“A politician weakly and amiably in the right is no match for a politician tenaciously and pugnaciously in the wrong. You cannot, by tying an opinion, to a man's tongue, make him the representative of that opinion; and at the close of any battle for principles, his name will be found neither among the dead nor among the wounded, but among the missing.” MenFoundPoliticsNamesOpinionPrinciplesMissingPoliticianBattleTongueRepresentativesWounded Author:Edwin Percy Whipple
“The world petroleum story is one of the most inhuman known to man: in it, elementary moral and social principles are jeered at. If powerful oil trusts no longer despoil and humiliate our country it is not because these predators have become human, but because we have won a hard-fought battle which has been going on since the beginning of the century.” IfsMenWorldHumansHas BeensCountryHardStoriesSocialPowerfulKnownMoralPrinciplesCenturyBattleOilOur CountryPredatorInhumanHumiliatePetroleum Author:Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

“Still more pathetic is the total collapse of moral fanaticism. Fanatics think that their single-minded principles qualify them to do battle with the powers of evil; but like a bull they rush at the red cloak instead of the person who is holding it; he exhausts himself and is beaten. He gets entangled in non-essentials and falls into the trap set by cleverer people.” PeopleThinkingPersonsStillsFallEvilMoralPrinciplesBattleEssentialsRedCollapseTrapsBeatenBullsPatheticFanaticsFanaticismCloaks Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“We are involved in an intense battle. It is a battle between right and wrong, between truth and error, between the design of the Almighty on the one hand and that of Lucifer on the other. For that reason, we desperately need moral men and women who stand on principle, to be involved in the political process. Otherwise, we abdicate power to those whose designs are almost entirely selfish.” MenNeedsReasonHandsPoliticalProcessMoralPrinciplesDesignInvolvedBattleMen And WomenErrorsSelfishIntenseAlmightyLucifer Author:Gordon B.
