Doctrine Quotes - Page 8

• Now the good of political life is a great political good. It is not a secular good specified by a comprehensive doctrine like those of Kant or Mill. You could characterize this political good as the good of free and equal citizens recognizing the duty of civility to one another: the duty to give citizens public reasons for one's political actions.

• What's important is that people give the kinds of reasons that can be understood and appraised apart from their particular comprehensive doctrines: for example, that they argue against physician-assisted suicide not just by speculating about God's wrath or the afterlife, but by talking about what they see as assisted suicide's potential injustices.

• You might say that, if citizens are acting for the right reasons in a constitutional regime, then regardless of their comprehensive doctrines they want every other citizen to have justice. So you might say they're all working together to do one thing, namely to make sure every citizen has justice. Now that's not the only interest they all have, but it's the single thing they're all trying to do. In my language, they've striving toward one single end, the end of justice for all citizens.

• There are nine countries in the world that have nuclear weapons. There are about 27,000 nuclear weapons total on the planet. The countries that have nuclear weapons deploy them ready for use and have doctrines saying that they would use them in certain circumstances.

• Basically [United States and France] said "We will use nuclear weapons whenever it suits our purposes to do so." So this expansion of doctrines regarding possible use of nuclear weapons makes them more, you know, sort of, salient and important and so it's increasing the perceived political value of nuclear weapons and therefore causing or contributing to possible proliferation.

• There is an initial modesty in Liberalism. Liberalism was not originally a doctrine of "man is the king." No, it was a very modest attempt to build a space where people could live together without slaughtering one another.

• Creo que hay una fórmula de fe en ese versículo: creer más recibir es igual a llegar a ser. Así que creo que creer es importante, estar de acuerdo intelectualmente con la doctrina cristiana es importante, pero tiene que haber un momento en el que recibamos el don de la gracia de Dios -no que lo hayamos ganado o merecido- sino que recibamos este don gratuito del perdón y la vida eterna que Jesús compró en la cruz por nosotros.

• We have a lot of villains in the world, all right? And the Catholic doctrine says turn the other cheek, the Christian doctrine. But if you turn the other cheek, you could be annihilated. So when is it justifiable to defend yourself and take aggressive action in that regard, like dropping drones on people?

• The doctrine of the sacredness of the soul sounds vaguely uplifting, but in fact is highly malignant. It discounts life on earth as just a temporary phase that people pass through, indeed, an infinitesimal fraction of their existence…the gradual replacement of lives for souls as the locus of moral value was helped along by the ascendency of skepticism and reason

• The arrogant elimination of the Djaouts of our world must nerve us to pursue our own combative doctrine, namely: that peaceful cohabitation on this planet demands that while the upholders of any creed are free to adopt their own existential absolutes, the right of others to do the same is thereby rendered implicit and sacrosanct. Thus the creed of inquiry, of knowledge and exchange of ideas, must be upheld as an absolute, as ancient and eternal as any other.

• La sociedad te ha presentado el ideal del "hombre perfecto". Independientemente de la cultura en la que hayas nacido, las escrituras y las tradiciones te dicen cómo debes comportarte. Te dicen que con la práctica puedes llegar a alcanzar el estado que alcanzaron los sabios, los santos y los salvadores de la humanidad. Y entonces intentas controlar tu comportamiento, controlar tus pensamientos, ser algo antinatural.

• Estaba convencido de que el culto, en su mejor expresión, es una experiencia social en la que personas de todos los niveles de vida se reúnen para darse cuenta de su unidad bajo Dios. Siempre que la iglesia, consciente o inconscientemente, atiende a una clase, pierde la fuerza espiritual de la doctrina de "el que quiera, que venga, y corre el peligro de convertirse en poco más que un club social con un fino barniz de religiosidad".

• Al dirigirme a ustedes, hombres de la ciudad más grande del Oeste, hombres del estado que dio al país a Lincoln y a Grant, hombres que encarnan de manera preeminente y distintiva todo lo que es más americano en el carácter americano, deseo predicar no la doctrina de la facilidad innoble, sino la doctrina de la vida extenuante.
