Doctrine Quotations
I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.
Mahatma Gandhi
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Khalil Gibran
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have found little that is "good" about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think.
Sigmund Freud
Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.
Henry Miller
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Immanuel Kant
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
H. L. Mencken
I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.
Charles Spurgeon
Optimism - the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.
Ambrose Bierce
The keystone of the Fascist doctrine is its conception of the State, of its essence, its functions, and its aims. For Fascism the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative.
Benito Mussolini
