Open Defence

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or defence:

    It will open a door through which fools and fanatics will pour in, and make the cause ridiculous.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    Education must have two foundations—morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defence for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
