Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

    It’s almost impossible to deal with a crazy man, except that he does have religious beliefs, and the world of Islam will be damaged if a fanatic like him should commit murder in the name of religion against 60 innocent people.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    My object all sublime I shall achieve in time—
    To let the punishment fit the crime— The punishment fit the crime; And make each prisoner pent Unwillingly represent
    A source of innocent merriment! Of innocent merriment!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
