• If opinion hath lighted the lamp of thy name, endeavor to encourage it with thy own oil, lest it go out and stink; the chronical disease of Popularity is shame; if thou be once up, beware; from fame to infamy is a beaten road.

• True courage is the result of reasoning. A brave mind is always impregnable. Resolution lies more in the head than in the veins, and a just sense of honor and of infamy, of duty and of religion, will carry us farther than all the force of mechanism.

  Jeremy Collier

• When our ancestors were attacked at Pearl Harbor, they called it a day that would live in infamy. The day the Partials attacked us with the RM Virus will not live in anything, because there will be none of us left to remember it." -President David R. Cregan, March 21, 2065, in a press conference at the White House. Three hours later he hanged himself.

• When politics enter into municipal government, nothing resulting therefrom in the way of crimes and infamies is then incredible. It actually enables one to accept and believe the impossible.

• No matter what the cause, even though it be to conquer with tanks and planes and modern artillery some defenseless black population, there will be no lack of poets and preachers and essayists and philosophers to invent the necessary reasons and gild the infamy with righteousness. To this righteousness there is, of course, never an adequate reply. Thus a war to end poverty becomes an unanswerable enterprise. For who can decently be for poverty? To even debate whether the war will end poverty becomes an exhibition of ugly pragmatism and the sign of an ignoble mind.

• ¿Se ha comprobado que los grupos de hombres actúan con más rectitud o mayor desinterés que los individuos? Lo contrario de esto ha sido inferido por todos los observadores precisos de la conducta de la humanidad; y la inferencia se funda en razones obvias. El respeto a la reputación tiene una influencia menos activa cuando la infamia de una mala acción ha de repartirse entre varios, que cuando ha de recaer individualmente sobre uno solo.

• Meekness is marked by silence in the face of abuse and infamy, by submission to God's way, which is higher than our way as heaven is higher than the earth, by submissiveness to others for their welfare. It is the source of inexpressible joy and contentment.

  V. Raymond Edman

• The law of honor: Go along only on the paths of honor. Fight, and never be a coward. Leave the path of infamy to others. Better to fall in an honorable fight than win by infamy.

• Los que se vuelven orgullosos cuando suenan sus alabanzas, los que buscan su propia gloria, no la de Cristo, o los que se conmueven por las calumnias y por la infamia, más vale que abandonen el ministerio de la Palabra.

• It is axiomatic among writers that no one ever sues the writer of an unsuccessful book. Just let a book go over twenty-five thousand copies and it is surprising how many people's feelings are hurt, how many screwballs think their brain children have been stolen, and how many people feel that they have been portrayed in a manner calculated to bring infamy upon them.

  Margaret Mitchell

• Tal es la construcción moral del mundo que ningún crimen nacional queda impune a la larga... Si los opresores actuales reflexionasen sobre la misma verdad, ahorrarían a sus propios países las penas por sus agravios actuales que les serán infligidas en tiempos futuros. Las semillas de odio y venganza que siembran a manos llenas no dejarán de producir sus frutos con el tiempo. Como sus hermanos ladrones en la carretera, suponen que la fuga del momento es una fuga final y consideran que la infamia y el riesgo futuro se compensan con la ganancia presente.

  Thomas Jefferson

• To abandon your shield is the basest of crimes; nor may a man thus disgraced be present at the sacred rites, or enter their council; many, indeed, after escaping from battle, have ended their infamy with the halter.

• I do here in the most solemn and bitter manner curse the Prime Minister of England [sic] for having cumulated all his other betrayals of the national interest and honour, by his last terrible exhibition of dishonour, weakness and gullibility. The depths of infamy which our accurst "love of peace" can lower us are unfathomable.

• Thou lovest like an infinite God when Thou lovest; Thou movest heaven and earth to save Thy loved ones. Thou becomest man, a babe, the vilest of men, covered with reproaches, dying with infamy and under the pangs of the cross; all this is not too much for an infinite love.

• La inferencia se basa en razones obvias. El respeto a la reputación tiene una influencia menos activa cuando la infamia de una mala acción se divide entre varios, que cuando recae sobre uno solo. Un espíritu de facción... a menudo precipitará a las personas que las componen a cometer impropiedades y excesos por los que se avergonzarían a título personal.

• What shall I say! And how shall I describe this Birth to you? For this wonder fills me with astonishment. The Ancient of Days has become an infant. He Who sits upon the sublime and heavenly Throne, now lies in a manger. And He Who cannot be touched, Who is simple, without complexity, and incorporeal, now lies subject to the hands of men. He Who has broken the bonds of sinners, is now bound by an infant's bands. But He has decreed that ignominy shall become honor, infamy be clothed with glory, and total humiliation the measure of His Goodness.

  San Juan Crisóstomo

• The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul; it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. Divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy... The soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. Thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment; and as vesture dost thou fold them up. Thou art from old, O Soul of Man; yea, thou art from everlasting.

  Georg Hermes
