Indian - Leader

Let it be a settled principle ...that men's salvation, if saved, is wholly of God; and that man's ruin, if lost, is wholly of himself.

J. C. Ryle

Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned about doing good work. Protect your work and if you build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency. Life is like a roller coaster ride, it is never going to be perfect. It is going to have perfect moments and rough spots, but it’s all worth it.

Patti Smith

Cookery is a wholly unselfish art: All good cooks, like all great artists, must have an audience worth cooking for.

Andre Simon

If principle is good for anything, it is worth living up to.

Benjamin Franklin

Ruthless, greedy, tyrannical, disreputable... they have had one principle worth all the rest, the principle of delight!

Kenneth Clark

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.

Mahatma Gandhi

I am unwilling to be wholly good—and please don't regard me as wholly evil!

Ayn Rand

Fairly examined, truly understood, No man is wholly bad, nor wholly good.

Theognis of Megara

The word Gothic, in the sense in which it is generally employed, is wholly unsuitable, but wholly consecrated. Hence we accept it and we adopt it, like all the rest of the world, to characterize the architecture of the second half of the Middle Ages, where the ogive is the principle which succeeds the architecture of the first period, of which the semi-circle is the father.

Victor Hugo

When a man declares: "There are no blacks and whites [in morality]" he is making a psychological confession, and what he means is: "I am unwilling to be wholly good - and please don't regard me as wholly evil!"

Ayn Rand

The true roll in determing to embrace or reject anything is not whether it have any evil in it but whether it have more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good.

Seth Grahame-Smith

There is always some basic principle that will ultimately get the Republican party together. If my observations are worth anything, that basic principle is the cohesive power of public plunder.

Anselm J. McLaurin

There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.

Abraham Lincoln

My father used to stress that he valued us all as individuals, but that no one in the world was worth more or less than anyone else. This was a good principle to establish in a large family.

Stellan Skarsgard

At the end of the day, I think the most conservative principle there is, is giving people a dollar worth of value for a dollar worth of tax paid.

Bill Haslam

Jesus Christ represented God as the principle of all good, the source of all happiness, the wise and benevolent Creator and Preserver of all living things. But the interpreters of his doctrines have confounded the good and the evil principle.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
