Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.
    Harper Lee (b. 1926)

    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)
