Text Quotes
Philosophers and theologians have yet to learn that a physical fact is as sacred as a moral principle. Our own nature demands from us this double allegiance (Principle Quotes)
The great experimental principle, then, is doubt, that philosophic doubt which leaves to the mind its freedom and initiative, and from which the virtues most valuable to investigators in physiology and medicine are derived (Principle Quotes)
It would appear... that moral phenomena, when observed on a great scale, are found to resemble physical phenomena; and we thus arrive, in inquiries of this kind, at the fundamental principle, that the greater the number of individuals observed, the more do individual peculiarities, whether physical or moral, become effaced, and leave in a prominent point of view the general facts, by virtue of which society exists and is preserved (Principle Quotes)
The elementary parts of all tissues are formed of cells in an analogous, though very diversified manner, so that it may be asserted, that there is one universal principle of development for the elementary parts of organisms, however different, and that this principle is the formation of cells (Principle Quotes)
The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms (Principle Quotes)
I have found that fate is as liquid and elusive a word as love. Plato thought they were the same... Novalis wrote that fate and soul are two names for the same principle (Principle Quotes)
The principle of life is that life responds by corresponding; your life becomes the thing you have decided it shall be (Principle Quotes)
Magic is antiphysics, so it can’t really exist. But is shares one thing with science. I can explain the principle behind a good science experiment in 15 seconds; the same way with magic (Principle Quotes)
If everything in chemistry is explained in a satisfactory manner without the help of phlogiston, it is by that reason alone infinitely probable that the principle does not exist; that it is a hypothetical body, a gratuitous supposition; indeed, it is in the principles of good logic, not to multiply bodies without necessity (Principle Quotes)
We may lay it down as an incontestible axiom, that, in all the operations of art and nature, nothing is created; an equal quantity of matter exists both before and after the experiment; the quality and quantity of the elements remain precisely the same; and nothing takes place beyond changes and modifications in the combination of these elements. Upon this principle the whole art of performing chemical experiments depends: We must always suppose an exact equality between the elements of the body examined and those of the products of its analysis (Principle Quotes)
I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing (Principle Quotes)
The death of a single human being is too heavy a price for the vindication of any principle, however sacred (Principle Quotes)
The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation. It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of environmental security (Principle Quotes)
Solidarity is based on the principle that we are willing to put ourselves at risk to protect each other (Principle Quotes)
As I became aware that all things have unique spatial and temporal qualities which visually define and relate them, I began to perceive the things I was photographing not as objects but as events. Working to develop my skills of perceiving and symbolizing these event qualities, I discovered the principle of opposites. When, for example, I photographed the smooth, luminous body of a woman behind a dirty cobwebbed window, I found that the qualities of each event were enhanced and the universal forces which they manifested were more powerfully evoked (Principle Quotes)
Parliamentary government is simply a mild and disguised form of compulsion. We agree to try strength by counting heads instead of breaking heads, but the principle is exactly the same... The minority gives way not because it is convinced that it is wrong, but because it is convinced that it is a minority (Principle Quotes)
Thousands of important and intelligent men have never been able to grasp the principle of comparative advantage or believe it even after it was explained to them (Principle Quotes)
We’ve got to take back the ideal of justice, we’ve got to take back this principle of human dignity. We’ve got to take it back from vengeance, from hatred, we’ve got to say: look, we’re all in this together. We are human beings (Principle Quotes)
First principle: never to let one’s self be beaten down by persons or by events (Principle Quotes)
The hold of the evolutionary paradigm is so powerful that an idea which is more like a principle of medieval astrology than a serious twentieth century scientific theory has become a reality for evolutionary biologists (Principle Quotes)
While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought... There is recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos... I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false (Principle Quotes)
It’s so easy to become a grumbler, someone who condemns and carps at everything on principle and sees an ulterior motive behind it (Principle Quotes)
If there is a simple, easy principle that binds everything I have done together, it is my interest in people and their relationship to things (Principle Quotes)
Tied to the value of the person is the principle of servanthood. We value what we freely serve (Principle Quotes)
Challenges aren’t frightening, defeats aren’t terrifying either. A principle that I now insist and persist on is the understanding that you can fulfill your dreams when you work hard and don’t give up (Principle Quotes)
We do not accept that human society should be constructed on the basis of a savage principle of the survival of the fittest (Principle Quotes)
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency in sin. It is just that negative species of virtue which consists in not doing what is scandalously depraved and wicked. But there is no heart of holy principle in it, any more than there is in the grosser sin (Principle Quotes)
You’re mistaken; men of sense often learn much from their enemies. Prudence is the best safeguard. This principle cannot be learnt from a friend: but an enemy extorts it immediately. It is from their foes and not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war. And this lesson saves their children, their homes, and their properties (Principle Quotes)
The particular aspect of history which both attracts and benefits its readers is the examination of causes and the capacity, which is the reward of this study, to decide in each case the best policy to follow. Now in all political situations we must understand that the principle factor which makes for success or failure is the form of a state’s constitution: it is from this source, as if from a fountainhead, that all designs and plans of action not only originate but reach their fulfillment (Principle Quotes)
The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form (Principle Quotes)
