• I am not saying this to serve as a justification for the things [Pablo Escobar] did, but rather to demonstrate the context of his situation and the reason for his actions, for which only he is responsible for. I think it was very difficult for him to try to bring down the very criminal organization that he had created and by the time he wanted to stop, he was unable to.

• No quiero justificar la religión en términos de los beneficios que nos aporta. Creo que, en conjunto, también hace muchas cosas malas, muchísimas. Pero no creo que la justificación final de la religión sea el bien que hace a la gente. Creo que la justificación final es que es verdad, y la verdad tiene prioridad sobre las consecuencias. La religión nos ayuda a tratar lo que es más importante para el espíritu humano: los valores, el significado, el propósito y la calidad.

• How many times have I heard in France of women who have been married for many years and the husband has had mistresses and you ask, "Why does she put up with it?" Because she loves him! Love is justification for so many things Americans would never put up with.

• An enormous amount of art and literature is erotic in the sense that it stimulates vague sexual emotions, but it has no pornographic intention or effect because "it leaves everything to the imagination." The consumer has to invent his own images, and it is felt, I do not know with what justification, that there is no harm in this.

• The justification - the idea that we have a right to invade another country and determine another people's destiny - is frightening. And I fear really for the future of that occupation. What happens now, and twenty years from now, and forty years from now, given our case? People in the United States may feel like when we don't see it on CNN twenty-four hours a day, it sort of disappears. But it doesn't disappear for the people who have to live under occupation - and their children and their children's children.

• La gallina se dio cuenta de que el granjero venía todos los días a darle de comer. Predijo que el granjero seguiría trayendo comida todos los días. Los inductivistas piensan que la gallina había "extrapolado" sus observaciones a una teoría, y que cada vez que le daban de comer justificaba más esa teoría. Entonces, un día llegó el granjero y le retorció el pescuezo a la gallina. Esto justifica inductivamente la conclusión de que la inducción no puede justificar ninguna conclusión.

• We're all just animals. That's all we are, and everything else is just an elaborate justification of our instincts. That's where music comes from. And romantic poetry. And bad novels.

• Pues la afirmación "Dios no existe" es tanto una pretensión de conocimiento como la afirmación "Dios existe". Por tanto, la primera afirmación requiere justificación, al igual que la segunda.

• The preservation of liberty, not the promotion of efficiency, is the primary justification for private property. Efficiency is a happy, though not accidental, by-product - and a most important by-product because liberty could not have survived if it had not also produced affluence.

• Luego, al final de cada mano, la señorita Bolo preguntaba con semblante sombrío y suspiro de reproche por qué el señor Pickwick no había devuelto el diamante, o no había llevado el palo, o no había desbastado la pica, o no había finiquitado el corazón, o no había llevado a través del honor, o no había sacado el as, o no había jugado hasta el rey, o alguna otra cosa por el estilo; y en respuesta a todas estas graves acusaciones, el señor Pickwick era totalmente incapaz de alegar justificación alguna, ya que para entonces se había olvidado por completo del juego.

• It means that we must abandon the method of civil disobedience, non-cooperation and satyagraha. When there was no way left for constitutional methods for achieving economic and social objectives, there was a great deal of justification for unconstitutional methods. But where constitutional methods are open, there can be no justification for these unconstitutional methods. These methods are nothing but the Grammar of Anarchy and the sooner they are abandoned, the better for us.

• problematic within post-Reformation dogmatics. Is faith something I `do' to earn God's favour, and, if not, what role does it play? Once we release Paul's justification-language from the burden of having to describe `how someone becomes a Christian', however, this is simply no longer a problem. There is no danger of imagining that Christian faith is after all a surrogate `work', let alone a substitute form of moral righteousness. Faith is the badge of covenant membership, not something someone `performs' as a kind of initiation test.

• Camping has become one of my most beloved pastimes. I take a fierce delight in swinging a pak o my back or into a canoe and heading for the hills or lakes. In my opinion, camping can be the greatest expression of free will, personal independence, innate ability, and resourcefulness possible today in our industrialized, urbanized existence. Regardless of how miserable or how splendid the circumstances, the sheer experience of camping seems a total justification for doing it.

• We should have understood long ago that there is, in this world, religion without God, religion as a center of all idols that possess fallen man, religion that is the justification for these idols.

• Confession of sins is not meritorious: to confess sins as a way of placing God in your debt is not dealing with sin; it is committing another sin. The context of all confession must be the free grace of justification.

• We live in a world of terrorism where evil acts are being regularly perpetrated in the name of your faith. And because it is your faith that is being invoked as justification for these evil acts, it is your problem. You can't wish it away, or ignore it, just because it has been caused by others. Instead, speak up and condemn terrorism, defend your role in the way of life that we all share here in Australia.
