Being Equal Quotes - Page 3

• If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious.

• A man who is morally clean, other things being equal, has in every instance, greater agility, greater capacity, and greater endurance by far than the man who is not.

• Of everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines.

• Like Dvoretsky, I think that (all other things being equal), the analytical method of studying chess must give you a colossal advantage over the chess pragmatist, and that there can be no certainty in chess without analysis.

It may disappoint some feminists out there that I don't want to harp on women and men being equal.
