Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    People are capable of doing an awful lot when they have no choice and I had no choice. Courage is when you have choices.
    Terry Anderson, U.S. hostage. International Herald Tribune (Paris, May 6, 1992)

    Partisanship should be kept out of the pulpit.... The blindest of partisans are preachers. All politicians expect and find more candor, fairness, and truth in politicians than in partisan preachers. They are not replied to—no chance to reply to them.... The balance wheel of free institutions is free discussion. The pulpit allows no free discussion.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
