Justification Quotes - Page 9

• The empiric easily degenerates into the quack. He does not know where his knowledge begins or leaves off, and so when he gets beyond routine conditions he begins to pretend-to make claims for which there is no justification, and to trust to luck and to ability to impose upon others-to "bluff."

• The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does -- if that catch-phrase has any meaning -- but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is: justice

• Anger can serve a useful purpose if it is justified and directed appropriately. But when it's only a substitute for self-loathing and a justification for cruelty to others, the trigger in your brain can become horribly destructive and addicted to that emotion. It's like a tornado that blows away all of your pleasure and replaces it with emotional poison.

  G. Frank Lawlis

• Solid scriptural theology should be valued in the church. Books in which Scripture is reverently regarded as the only rule of faith and practice-- books in which Christ and the Holy Ghost have their rightful office-- books in which justification, and sanctification, and regeneration, and faith, and grace, and holiness are clearly, distinctly, and accurately delineated and exhibited, these are the only books which do real good. Few things need reviving more than a taste for such books as these among readers.

• For optimists, human life never needs justification, no matter how much hurt piles up, because they can always tell themselves that things will get better. For pessimists, there is no amount of happiness—should such a thing as happiness even obtain for human beings except as a misconception—that can compensate us for life’s hurt.

• Our enemy is not lack of preparation; it’s not the difficulty of the project or the state of the marketplace or the emptiness of our bank account. The enemy is our chattering brain, which, if we give it so much as a nanosecond, will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self-justifications and a million reasons why we can’t/shouldn’t/won’t do what we know we need to do.

• El creyente más débil y el santo más fuerte están igualmente justificados. La justificación no admite grados. Un hombre está totalmente justificado o totalmente condenado a los ojos de Dios.

• Nuestro pensamiento no debe ser una mera respuesta a lo que otro acaba de decir. O a lo que otro podría haber dicho. Nuestro mundo interior debe ser algo más que un eco de las palabras de otro. No tiene sentido ser una luna para el sol de otro, y menos aún se justifica que seamos lunas los unos de los otros y, por tanto, oscuridad los unos para los otros, sin que ninguno de nosotros sea un verdadero sol.

• Una persona no... permanece inmóvil y clara ante nuestros ojos con sus méritos, sus defectos, sus planes, sus intenciones con respecto a nosotros expuestos en su superficie... sino que es una sombra que nunca logramos penetrar... una sombra detrás de la cual podemos imaginar alternativamente, con igual justificación, que arde la llama del odio y del amor.

  Marcel Proust

• For some reason which I have failed to understand, many people like the system [scientific totalitarianism] when it is Russian but disliked the very same system when it was German. I am compelled to think that this is due to the power of labels; these people like whatever is labelled ‘Left’ without examining whether the label has any justification.

• En un mundo en el que el éxito es la medida y la justificación de todas las cosas, la figura de Aquel que fue condenado y crucificado sigue siendo un extraño y, en el mejor de los casos, es objeto de lástima. El mundo sólo se deja dominar por el éxito. No son las ideas ni las opiniones las que deciden, sino los hechos. Sólo el éxito justifica los males cometidos Con una franqueza y despreocupación que ningún otro poder terrenal podría permitirse, la historia apela en su propia causa al dictado de que el fin justifica los medios La figura del Crucificado invalida todo pensamiento que tome el éxito por norma.

• To defend something is always to discredit it. Let a man have a warehouse full of gold, let him be willing to give away a ducat to every one of the poor - but let him also be stupid enough to begin this charitable undertaking of his with a defense in which he offers three good reasons in justification; and it will almost come to the point of people finding it doubtful whether indeed he is doing something good. But now for Christianity. Yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.

• What has changed since the collapse of Jim Crow has less to do with the basic structure of our society than with the language we use to justify it. In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. So we don't. Rather than rely on race, we use our criminal justice system to label people of color "criminals" and then engage in all the practices we supposedly left behind.

• What's absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top management people get for laying off people. There's no excuse for it. No justification. No explanation. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we'll pay a very nasty price.
