I’ll leave this quote from The Portable Curmudgeon right where it is; it is so very appropriate this election year.
Then we can continue on to Principles.
”President”
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it.” Clarence Darrow
“Principles”
You can’t learn too soon that the most useful thing about a principle is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency.
W. Somerset Maughm
Principles have no real force except when one is well fed. Mark Twain
It is easier to fight for one’s principles than to live up to them. Alfred Adler
I like persons better than principles and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
Oscar Wilde
“Progress”
What we call progress is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance. Havelock Ellis
All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.
Samuel Butler
Progress celebrates Pyrrhic victories over nature and makes purses of human skin. Karl Kraus
Progress is the mother of problems. G.K. Chesterton
“Promiscuity”
A promiscuous person is someone who is getting more sex than you are. Victor Lownes
