Voluntary Principle

Famous quotes containing the words voluntary and/or principle:

    “All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organisation. For the latter makes use of violence, the former—of the corruption of the will.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “The principle of fashion is ... the principle of the kaleidoscope. A new year can only bring us a new combination of the same elements; and about once in so often we go back and begin again.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
