Accusers Quotes - Page 2

• Unskilled in sophistry and new to the darker ways of national politics, Grover Cleveland faced his accusers, his slanderers, and his judges, the sovereign people, conscious of the general rectitude of his life, and courageously determined to bear the burdens of his sins in so far as guilt was his.

• When media coverage sets up a binary opposition between “the accuser” and “the accused,” there is no longer a victim or even an alleged victim - a flesh and blood person who was harmed by the violent act of another.

• From the very beginning, our state and national constitutions and laws have laid great emphasis on procedural and substantive safeguards designed to assure fair trials before impartial tribunals in which every defendant stands equal before the law. This noble ideal cannot be realized if the poor man charged with crime has to face his accusers without a lawyer to assist him.

• Los liberales y los izquierdistas llevan generaciones desestimando los hechos inconvenientes atacando los motivos. En los años 30, 40 y 50, los espías y cómplices soviéticos atacaban los motivos de sus acusadores porque su culpabilidad era innegable. En los años 60, más de mil psiquiatras que ni siquiera conocían a Barry Goldwater firmaron una petición diciendo que el candidato del Partido Republicano era demasiado inestable mentalmente para ser presidente.

• Every court of criminal justice must have the power of correcting the greatest and dangerous of all abuses of the forms of law - that of the protracted imprisonment of the accused, untried, perhaps not intended ever to be tried, it may be, not informed of the nature of the charge against him, or the name of the accuser.

  David Hume

• It takes four angels to oversee an apocalypse: a recorder to make the book that would be scripture in the new world; a preserver to comfort and save those selected to be the first generation; an accuser to remind them why they suffer; and a destroyer to revoke the promise of survival and redemption, and to teach them the awful truth about furious sheltering grace.

• If you do not accuse each other, God will not accuse you. If you have no accuser you will enter heaven. What many people call sin is not sin; I do many things to break down superstition, and I will break it down.

• Hay personas que tienen preocupaciones legítimas sobre las acusaciones falsas y el impacto que pueden tener en la vida de un joven cuando han sido falsamente acusados. Kirsten [Gillibrand] y yo no ignoramos que es un tema que debe preocuparnos, y por eso hemos introducido cambios en la legislación para abordar no solo los derechos de la víctima, el acusador, sino también los del acusado.

• Un componente crítico de la Defensa ante el Escándalo 101 de la Casa Blanca es reunir a la base partidista. Esto mantiene los índices de aprobación en un territorio donde las ruedas no empiezan a caerse. La forma de lograr este objetivo es ser negativo y no cejar en el empeño. Si siempre estás atacando a tus acusadores, el debate se convierte en uno de demócratas contra republicanos, en lugar de correcto contra incorrecto. Cualquiera que cuestione la legalidad de la decisión de pinchar ilegalmente los teléfonos de miles de estadounidenses es atacado, ya sea como facilitador de terroristas o como partidario amargado que intenta distraer a un presidente en guerra.

• If one were to claim that the U.S. occupation forces in Iraq have been provided with "keys to heaven" by the Pentagon, would that need historical research to be disproved or would you just say, "That's just propaganda"? Indeed, how can you disprove the claim that U.S. soldiers have such keys? Or why should you disprove such ridiculous claims? It is the accusers who must provide the evidence.

• A protest meeting on the issue of environmental abuse is not a convocation of accusers, it is a convocation of the guilty. The realization ought to clear the smog of self-righteousness that has always conventionally hovered over these occasions, and let us see the work that is to be done.

• I believe we should try to move away from the vocabulary and attitudes which shape the stereotyping of developed and developing country approaches to human rights issues. We are collective custodians of universal human rights standards, and any sense that we fall into camps of "accuser" and "accused" is absolutely corrosive of our joint purposes. The reality is that no group of countries has any grounds for complacency about its own human rights performance and no group of countries does itself justice by automatically slipping into the "victim" mode.

• Asset forfeiture is a mockery of the Bill of Rights. There is no presumption of innocence, no need to prove you guilty (or even charge you with a crime), no right to a jury trial, no right to confront your accuser, no right to a court-appointed attorney (even if the government has just stolen all your money), and no right to compensation for the property that's been taken.

• El mundo no tiene voz propia. No puede decirte lo que quiere, lo que necesita. Pero anhela algo que le indique la dirección correcta. Un salvador, tal vez. ¡Sálvanos, Chris! Debes perdonarme. ¿Dónde están mis modales? Creo que no he tenido la oportunidad de presentarme. Puedes llamarme Bray Wyatt. Pero tengo mil caras y un millón de nombres. Seductor, acusador, destructor. Soy el color rojo en un mundo lleno de blanco y negro, y si valoras tu capacidad de respirar, no te acerques demasiado. Sálvanos, Chris. Sálvate a ti mismo.

• Conscience signifies that knowledge which a man hath of his own thoughts and actions; and because, if a man judgeth fairly of his actions by comparing them with the law of God, his mind will approve or condemn him; this knowledge or conscience may be both an accuser and a judge.

  Carries his own accuser in his breast.
