Oath Quotes - Page 7

• Al representar a acusados de delitos penales -especialmente a los culpables- a menudo es necesario tomar la ofensiva contra el gobierno: ponerlo a prueba por su mala conducta. En derecho, como en los deportes, la mejor defensa suele ser un buen ataque. El juramento ante un tribunal -decir la verdad, toda la verdad y nada más que la verdad- sólo se aplica a los testigos... porque el sistema judicial estadounidense se basa en no decir toda la verdad.

• There is an utterance of Necessity, an ancient decree of the gods, eternal, sealed fast with broad oaths: whenever any one defiles his body sinfully with bloody gore or perjures himself in regard to wrong-doing, one of those spirits who are heir to long life, thrice ten thousand seasons shall he wander apart from the blessed, being born meantime in all sorts of mortal forms, changing one bitter path of life for another.

• Es una consideración melancólica que haya algunos entre nosotros tan endurecidos y engañados como para pensar que un juramento es un tema apropiado para una broma; y para hacer de éste, que es uno de los actos más solemnes de la religión, una ocasión de alegría. Sin embargo, tal es la depravación de nuestras costumbres en la actualidad, que nada es más frecuente que oír a hombres despilfarradores ridiculizar, en la medida de sus posibilidades, estas sagradas promesas de su deber y lealtad, y tratar de ser ingeniosos consigo mismos, por atreverse a prevaricar con Dios y con los hombres.

• The Jews form a state, and, obeying their own laws, they evade those of their host country. the Jews always considered an oath regarding a Christian not binding. During the Campaign of 1812 the Jews were spies, they were paid by both sides, they betrayed both sides. It is seldom that the police investigate a robbery in which a Jew is not found either to be an accomplice or a receiver.

• Las vagas promesas de ahorro derivadas de la reducción del despilfarro, el fomento de la prevención y el bienestar, la instalación de historias clínicas electrónicas y la mejora de la calidad no son más que un control de costes "de boquilla", más para el espectáculo y las relaciones públicas que para un verdadero cambio... Para ahorrar habrá que cambiar la mentalidad de los médicos respecto a sus pacientes: Los médicos se toman demasiado en serio el juramento hipocrático, "como un imperativo de hacer todo por el paciente sin importar el coste o los efectos sobre los demás".

• Compatriotas: En esta segunda comparecencia para prestar juramento del cargo presidencial, hay menos ocasión para un discurso extenso que en la primera... El progreso de nuestras armas, del que todo lo demás depende principalmente, es tan bien conocido por el público como por mí mismo; y es, confío, razonablemente satisfactorio y alentador para todos. Con grandes esperanzas para el futuro, no me aventuro a hacer ninguna predicción al respecto.

• Listen to me. I am leaving, but I am living. I will not be gone from you entirely, Will. When you fight now, I will be still by you. When you walk in the world, I will be the light at your side, the ground steady under your feet, the force that drives the sword in your hand. We are bound, beyond the oath. The Marks did not change that. The oath did not change that. It merely gave words to something that existed already.

• I don’t know what to do,” Will said. “Mortmain has taken Tessa, and I believe now I know where she might be. There is a part of me that wants nothing more than to go after her. But I cannot leave Jem. I swore an oath. And what if he wakes in the night and finds I am not here?” He looked as lost as a child. “He will think I left him willingly, not caring that he was dying. He will not know. And yet if he could speak, would he not tell me to go after Tessa? Is that not what he would want?” Will dropped his face into his hands. “I cannot say, and it is tearing me in half.

• Something about first love defies duplication. Before it, your heart is blank. Unwritten. After, the walls are left inscribed and graffitied. When it ends, no amount of scrubbing will purge the scrawled oaths and sketched images, but sooner or later, you find that there’s space for someone else, between the words and in the margins.

• I think there should be some way to find some kind of reasonable accommodation that allows the state to continue to say, you know, that women's rights supersede any kind of a cultural custom that's oppressive to women, but also potentially allows a woman to take the oath, I don't know, in a separate room. It would be up to the court to find some kind of cultural accommodation.

• Nobody has told Trump that he can't defund sanctuary cities, because the judge William Orrick did not rule that law unconstitutional. This was a pure exercise in nothing more but a refusal to acknowledge the authority vested in Donald Trump as president. This was nothing more than yet another judge essentially saying, "You don't have the power to do anything because I don't acknowledge you as president and I don't acknowledge your oath of office because you're not sane and you're not of sound mind to actually tell the truth when you take the oath of office."

• When I was sworn in as a judge of the court of appeals, I took an oath.

• When we talked about going to help Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea Conakry how many doctors in Cuba raised their hands to go? 15 thousand. In their homes they said, "We are willing to go risk our lives to help other countries". That is true medicine; it is the true observance of the Hippocratic Oath that doctors swear to.

• Se está empleando a hombres de letras para alabar personalmente a un gran hombre de negocios, como antes se alababa a un rey. No sólo encuentran razones políticas para los planes comerciales que han hecho durante algún tiempo, sino que también encuentran defensas morales para los conspiradores comerciales... Me molesta que se reviva toda la era del mecenazgo bajo patrocinadores tan absurdos; y que todos los poetas se conviertan en poetas de la corte, bajo reyes que no han prestado juramento.

• Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
