Duty Is the Sublimest Word in Our Language–Fort Worth, Texas Civil Litigation Attorneys

QUOTES ON LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, TRUTH AND DUTY:

 

“Every good citizen makes his country’s honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and its conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.”

-Andrew Jackson

“Let me give you my vision: A man’s right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master.”

– Margaret Thatcher

“Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late…”

-Pat Cleburne

“If it is in the public interest to maintain an industry, it is clearly not in the public interest by the impact of regulatory authority to destroy its otherwise viable way of life.” Special Message to the Congress on Regulatory Agencies, April 13, 1961

-John F. Kennedy

“I hear people talking bad about the way we have to live here in this country…I do not mind them switching sides, and standing’ up for things they believe in. But when they are running down my country, they’re walking on the fighting side of me. They are running down a way of life our fighting men have fought and died to keep. If you don’t love it, leave it. I read about some squirrely guy who claims he just does not believe in fighting, and  I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on being free. They love our milk and honey, but they preach about some other way of living…”

– Merle Ronald Haggard

“When all the checks and balances of the Constitution are gone, we may easily figure to ourselves the career and the destiny of this godless monster of democratic absolutism. The progress of regulated liberty on this continent will be arrested, anarchy will soon succeed, and the end will be a military despotism, which preserves order by the sacrifice of the last vestige of liberty. They are now fighting the battle of despotism. They have put their Constitution under their feet; they have annulled its most sacred provisions; The future fortunes of our children, and of this continent, would then be determined by a tyranny which has no parallel in history.”

-James Thornwell

“Our liberties do not come from charters; for these are only the declaration of pre-existing rights. They do not depend on parchments or seals; but come from the King of Kings and the Lord of all the earth.” 1776

-John Dickinson

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lives a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

-Martin Luther King

“Duty is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more. You should never wish to do less.”

-R.Edward Lee

“God never creates inferior human beings, each person deserves respect and dignity.”

-Benjamin Carson

“The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government.”

– Sam Houston

“Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.”

-Douglas MacArthur

“Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism.”

-Benjamin Netanyahu

“Liberty may be defined in general, a power of action, or a certain suitableness or preparedness for exertion, and a freedom from force, or hindrance from any external cause. Liberty when predicated of man as a moral agent, and accountable creature, is that suitableness or preparedness to be the subject of volitions, or exercises of will, which we find belongeth to all men of common capacity, and who are come to the years of understanding. This Liberty is opposed to that want of capacity, by which there is a total ignorance of all moral objects.” Sermon Preached to the Corporation of Freemen in Farmington, 1775

-Levi Hart 

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

-Winston Churchill

“The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an Epocha when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined, than at any former period, the researches of the human mind, after social happiness, have been carried to a great extent, the Treasures of knowledge, acquired by the labours of Philosophers, Sages and Legislatures, through a long succession of years, are laid open for our use, and their collected wisdom may be happily applied in the Establishment of our forms of Government; the free cultivation of Letters, the unbounded extension of Commerce, the progressive refinement of Manners, the growing liberality of sentiment, and above all, the pure and benign light of Revelation, have had a meliorating influence on mankind and increased the blessings of Society. At this auspicious period, the United States came into existence as a Nation, and if their Citizens should not be completely free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own.” Circular to the States June 8, 1783

-George Washington

“The question of why evil exists is not a theological question, for it assumes that it is possible to go behind the existence forced upon us as sinners. If we could answer it then we would not be sinners. We could make something else responsible…The theological question does not arise about the origin of evil but about the real overcoming of evil on the Cross; it ask for the forgiveness of guilt, for the reconciliation of the fallen world ” Creation and Fall Temptation: Two Biblical Studies

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work. Up from Slavery

-Booker T. Washington

“Brutal men with unlimited power are the same all over the world.”

-Mary Chesnut

“Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right, a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world”. U.S. Congress, 1847

-Abraham Lincoln
