Oath Quotes - Page 5

• Those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all.

  John Locke

  Atheist, Promise, Atheism

• You have just taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.

• ATHENA: There are two sides to this dispute. I've heard only one half the argument. (...) So you two parties, summon your witnesses, set out your proofs, with sworn evidence to back your stories. Once I've picked the finest men in Athens, I'll return. They'll rule fairly in this case, bound by a sworn oath to act with justice.

  Esquilo

• A kiss, when all is said, what is it? An oath that's given closer than before; A promise more precise; the sealing of Confessions that till then were barely breathed; A rosy dot placed on the i in loving.

• No man of honor, as the word is usually understood, did ever pretend that his honor obliged him to be chaste or temperate, to pay his creditors, to be useful to his country, to do good to mankind, to endeavor to be wise or learned, to regard his word, his promise, or his oath.

• Here I swear, and as I break my oath may ... eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity! It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge... Oh, how I wish I were the Antichrist, that it were mine to crush the Demon; to hurl him to his native Hell never to rise again - I expect to gratify some of this insatiable feeling in Poetry.

• La crueldad humana adoptaba la forma de un pacto con la deidad. Se hacía un juramento solemne de matarlo todo, en el que la gente se prohibía a sí misma cualquier muestra de razón o compasión. Se consagraba una ciudad o una tierra a la destrucción y se creía un insulto a Dios si no se observaba el abominable juramento.

  Ernest Renan

• Doth some one say that there be gods above? There are not; no, there are not. Let no fool, Led by the old false fable, thus deceive you. Look at the facts themselves, yielding my words, No undue credence: for I say that kings kill, rob, break oaths, lay cities waste by fraud, And doing thus are happier than those, Who live calm pious lives day after day. All divinity is built-up from our good and evil luck.

  Eurípides

• Of the six men who have done most to make America the wonder and the joy she is to all of us, not one could be the citizen of a government so constituted; for Washington and Franklin and Jefferson, certainly the three mightiest leaders in our early history, were heretics in their day, Deists, as men called them; and Garrison and Lincoln and Sumner, certainly the three mightiest in these later times, would all be disfranchised by the proposed amendment. Lincoln could not have taken the oath of office had such a clause been in the Constitution.

• How odd that Americans, and not just their presidents, have come to think of their Constitution as something separable from the government it's supposed to constitute. In theory, it should be as binding on rulers as the laws of physics are on engineers who design bridges; in practice, its axioms have become mere options. Of course engineers don't have to take oaths to respect the law of gravity; reality gives them no choice. Politics, as we see, makes all human laws optional for politicians.

• A very little boy stood upon a heap of gravel for the honour of Rum Alley. He was throwing stones at howling urchins from Devil's Row, who were circling madly about the heap and pelting him. His infantile countenance was livid with the fury of battle. His small body was writhing in the delivery of oaths.

• La sugerencia de negar cualquier medida de sus plenos derechos políticos a un grupo tan grande de nuestra población como la gente de color es algo que, por mucho que pueda ser recibido en otros sectores, no podría ser permitido por alguien que siente la responsabilidad de estar a la altura de las tradiciones y mantener los principios del Partido Republicano. Nuestra Constitución garantiza la igualdad de derechos a todos nuestros ciudadanos, sin discriminación por motivos de raza o color. He jurado apoyar esa Constitución.

• A kiss! When all is said, what is a kiss? An oath of allegiance taken in closer proximity, a promise more precise, a seal on a confession, a rose-red dot upon the letter i in loving; a secret which elects the mouth for ear; an instant of eternity murmuring like a bee; balmy communion with a flavor of flowers; a fashion of inhaling each other's hearts, and of tasting, on the brink of the lips, each other's soul!

• Pero sé que eres religioso
  Y tienes una cosa dentro de ti llamada conciencia,
  Con veinte trucos y ceremonias papales
  Que te he visto observar cuidadosamente,
  Por lo tanto, insisto en tu juramento; porque sé que
  Un idiota tiene su baratija por un dios
  Y cumple el juramento que por ese dios hace,
  A eso le exhorto: por tanto jurarás
  Por ese mismo dios, cualquiera que sea,
  que tú adoras y tienes en reverencia,
  salvar a mi hijo, alimentarlo y criarlo,
  o no te descubriré nada.
