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)
