“No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.”
- Theodore Roosevelt (1858 – 1919) American Republican President: “The Strenuous Life”, 1900.
“Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance – these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.”
- Isaiah Berlin (1909 – 1997). Latvian-born British philosopher: ‘Political Ideas in the Twentieth Century’, 1969.
“The Church of England,’ I said, seeing that Mr. Inglesant paused, ‘is no doubt a compromise.”
- J. H. Shorthouse (1834 – 1903), British novelist: “John Inglesant”, 1880.
