Justifies Quotes (page 4)

Martha Gellhorn quote: "the ends never justify the means because IT never ends."
the ends never justify the means because IT never ends. Martha Gellhorn
A God who kept tinkering with the universe was absurd; a God who interfered with human freedom and creativity was tyrant. If God is seen as a self in a world of his own, an ego thatrelates to a thought, a cause separate from its effect. he becomes a being, not Being itself. An omnipotent, allknowing tyrant is not so different from earthly dictators who make everything andeverybody mere cogs in the machine which they controlled. An atheism that rejects such a God is amply justified. Karen Armstrong
G. H. Hardy quote: "There is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more..."
There is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. G. H. Hardy
Albert Camus quote: "No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in..."
No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition. Albert Camus
Terry Goodkind quote: "You mean that it’s not only what he does that makes him..."
You mean that it’s not only what he does that makes him dangerous, but also what he feels justified in doing? Terry Goodkind
The narratives we create in order to justify our actions and choices become in so many ways who we are. They are the things we say back to ourselves to explain our complicated lives. Perhaps the reason you've not yet been able to forgive yourself is that you're still invested in your self-loathing. Perhaps not forgiving yourself is the flip side of your stealing-this-now cycle. Would you be a better or worse person if you forgave yourself for the bad things you did? If you perpetually condemn... Cheryl Strayed
Margaret Atwood quote: "There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they..."
There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they justify almost anything. Margaret Atwood
But man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally, he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic. Fyodor Dostoevsky
As often happens between men who have chosen different pursuits, each, while in argument justifying the other's activity, despised it in the depth of his heart. Leo Tolstoy
Like more than one Englishman in New York, he looked upon Americans as hopeless children whom Providence had perversely provided with this great swollen fat fowl of a continent. Any way one chose to relieve them of their riches, short of violence, was sporting, if not morally justifiable, since they would only squander it in some tasteless and useless fashion, in any event. Tom Wolfe
Clearly, only very unequal intellectual and moral standing could justify having equality imposed, whether the people want it or not, as Dworkin suggests, and only very unequal power would make it possible. Thomas Sowell
When God justifies a sinner, everything in God is on the sinner's side. All the attributes of God are on the sinner's side. It isn't that mercy is pleading for the sinner and justice is trying to beat him to death. All of God does all that God does. Aiden Wilson Tozer
But neither can you condemn nor justify and yet be extraordinarily alive as you walk on. You can never invite the wind but you must leave the window open. Bruce Lee
The dreadful superstition that it is possible to foresee the future shape of society serves to justify all kinds of violence in the name of that structure. It is enough for a person to free his thoughts, even temporarily, of this superstition and to look sincerely and seriously at the life of the nation for it to become clear to him that acceptance of the need to oppose evil with violence is nothing other than the justification people give to their habitual and favourite vices: vengeance,... Leo Tolstoy
If the whole world is evil, then the tragedy that befell you is justified," she went on. "That would make it easier for you to accept the deaths of your wife and daughters. But if good people do exist, then, however much you deny it, your life will be unbearable; because fate set a trap for you, and you know you didn't deserve it. It isn't the light you want to recover, it's the certainty that there is only darkness. Paulo Coelho
