Famous quotes containing the word substitutes:

    Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.
    Miles Franklin (1879–1954)

    In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
