“No one who has lived in the world as long as you & I have, can entertain the pious delusion that it is engineered upon principles of benevolence... the cosmos remains always beautiful and profoundly interesting in every corner-and if I had as many lives as a cat I would leave no corner unexplored.” IfsThinkingWorldLongBeautifulInterestingPrinciplesCatRemainsCornersCosmosDelusionBenevolencePiousUnexplored Author:Thomas Huxley
“There still remains one effort of magnanimity, one sacrifice of prejudice and passion, to be made by the individuals throughout the nation who have heretofore followed the standards of political party. It is that of discarding every remnant of rancor against each other, of embracing as countrymen and friends, and of yielding to talents and virtue alone that confidence which in times of contention for principle was bestowed only upon those who bore the badge of party communion.” MadeStillsPoliticalPassionIndividualNationsPartyEffortPrinciplesVirtueSacrificeTalentStandardsPrejudiceRemainsBoresCommunionPolitical PartiesContentionBadgesCountrymenRemnantsMagnanimityRancor Author:John Quincy Adams
“We must recognise the essential underlaying savagery in the animal called man, and return to older and sounder principles of national life and defense.

“I find it expressed in various passages of Scripture that the fact that God knows things while in a state of possibility, when their existence belongs to the future, does not change the nature of the possible in any way; that nature remains unchanged; and the knowledge of the realisation of one of several possibilities does not yet effect that realisation. This is likewise one of the fundamental principles of the Law of Moses concerning which there is no doubt nor any dispute.” KnowsWayDoeStatesFactsLawExistencePrinciplesDoubtEffectsPossibilityFundamentalsRemainsVariousScriptureNo DoubtPassagesDisputesGod KnowsMosesRealisationFundamental Principles Author:Maimonides

“The beautiful is and remains beautiful though it arouse no emotion whatever, and though there be no one to look at it. In other words, although the beautiful exists for the gratification of an observer, it is independent of him. In this sense music, too, has no aim (object), and the mere fact that this particular art is so closely bound up with our feelings by no means justifies the assumption that its aesthetic principles depend on this union.” LooksMeanArtFactsFeelingsBeautifulEmotionPrinciplesObjectsParticularDependsArt IsAimIndependentRemainsUnionsMereBoundsAssumptionJustifyAestheticObserversGratification Author:Eduard Hanslick

“The fundamental principle [of settlement work] remains: that people shall take up their residence in industrial communities, giving what they may have of public spirit, and partaking of the life about them; preserving their identity as individuals and endeavoring to keep the settlement free from the institutional form of philanthropic work. ... the relationship is reciprocal.” PeopleGivingMayFormSpiritIndividualCommunityPrinciplesIdentityDignityFundamentalsRemainsSettlementPhilanthropicReciprocalFundamental PrinciplesResidence Author:Lillian Wald
“... fain would I turn back the clock and devote to French or some other language the hours I spent upon algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, of which not one principle remains with me. Stay! There is one theorem painfully drummed into my head which seems to have inhabited some corner of my brain since that early time: "The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides!"

“Americans are coming to their senses, and the libertarian theory of society and government is pointing the way.
