Against Quotes

So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses in stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it Picture Quote #1

To bring a child into existence without a fair prospect of being able, not only to provide food for it's body, but instruction and training for it's mind is a moral crime, both against the unfortunate offspring and against society Picture Quote #1

No longer enslaved or made dependent by force of law, the great majority are so by force of property; they are still chained to a place, to an occupation, and to conformity with the will of an employer, and debarred by the accident of birth to both the enjoyments, and from the mental and moral advantages, which others inherit without exertion and independently of desert. That this is an evil equal to almost any of those against which mankind have hitherto struggles, the poor are not wrong in believing Picture Quote #1

Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough; there needs protection against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, it's own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them Picture Quote #1

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect Picture Quote #1

When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that it's errors are their errors, it's aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it Picture Quote #1

Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them Picture Quote #1

The shortcomings of economics are not original error but uncorrected obsolescence. The obsolescence has occurred because what is convenient has become sacrosanct. Anyone who attacks such ideas must seem to be a trifle self-confident and even aggressive. The man who makes his entry by leaning against an infirm door gets an unjustified reputation for violence. Something is to be attributed to the poor state of the door Picture Quote #1

I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God Picture Quote #1

Therefore, brave conquerors - for so you are that war against your own affections and the huge army of the world's desires - our late edict shall strongly stand in force: navarre shall be the wonder of the world; our court shall be a little academe, still and contemplative in living art Picture Quote #1

You cannot fight against it. There's a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don't want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: 'You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.' Picture Quote #1

No, when light winged toys of feathered cupid seel with wanton dullness my speculative and officed instruments, that my disports and taint my business, let housewives make a skillet of my helm, and all indign and base adversities make head against my estimation! Picture Quote #1

I would make myself head of the style police and we would fight fiercely against sloppiness Picture Quote #1

I have nothing against the Queen of England. Even in my heart I never resented her for not being Jackie Kennedy. She is, to my mind, a very gallant lady, victimized by whoever it is who designs the tops of her uniforms Picture Quote #1

One of Dawkins' major gripes is against religion. I am in total agreement on that one. I abhor religion Picture Quote #1

Comic books, movies, radio programmes centered their entertainment around the fact of torture. With the clearest of consciences, with a patriotic intensity, children dreamed, talked, acted orgies of physical abuse. Imaginations were released to wander on a reconnaissance mission from Cavalry to Dachau. European children starved and watched their parents scheme and die. Here we grew up with toy whips. Early warning against our future leaders, the war babies Picture Quote #1

When you call me close to tell me your body is not beautiful I want to summon the eyes and hidden mouths of stone and light and water to testify against you Picture Quote #1

We need wilderness preserved - as much of it as is still left, and as many kinds - because it was the challenge against which our character as a people was formed Picture Quote #1

Our air up here is good for the disease - I mean good against the disease,... But it is also good for the disease Picture Quote #1

The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career Picture Quote #1

Those who deny the right of a jury to protect an individual in resisting an unjust law of the government, deny him all defence whatsoever against oppression Picture Quote #1

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind Picture Quote #1

Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act Picture Quote #1

I shall lend credit to nothing against my people which parents would not believe against their own children Picture Quote #1

Can you let your son's body become the same temperature as your son's head before you turn this into a political campaign against the president? Could you do that? Picture Quote #1

I know that it isn't just violence against women, it's how do we support ourselves and our families, how do we deal with health care for ourselves and our families? It's a bigger picture Picture Quote #1

I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness Picture Quote #1

To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons Picture Quote #1

The US military still blames the media for stories and images that turned the American public against the war in Vietnam Picture Quote #1

Let us be what God likes, so long as we are His, and let us not be what we want to be, if it is against his intention Picture Quote #1
