Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    Men conceive themselves as morally superior to those with whom they differ in opinion. A Socialist who thinks that the opinions of Mr. Gladstone on Socialism are unsound and his own sound, is within his rights; but a Socialist who thinks that his opinions are virtuous and Mr. Gladstone’s vicious, violates the first rule of morals and manners in a Democratic country; namely, that you must not treat your political opponent as a moral delinquent.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The message of women’s liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.
    —Jane Rule (b. 1931)
