We can no more justify using nonhumans as human resources than we can justify human slavery. Animal use and slavery have at least one important point in common: both institutions treat sentient beings exclusively as resources of others. That cannot b...
When we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth, so we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth!
When we awaken, we cannot account for the time spent. We simply don't remember. About the only evidence we have of experiences while we were asleep is when we happen to remember a dream.
Not only do I not know what I believe, but also I cannot know for sure that I believe. How can I define precisely what my attitude is toward something it cannot conceivably grasp? Can I be said to be in the relation of "belief," in any usual sense of...
We agreed that we cannot let personal political attacks get in the way of doing the very best we can for California's children.
Anywhere we go, we will have our self with us; we cannot escape ourselves.
We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore.

[performing in the play] Doc Goebbels: Danke schön, mein Führer. Lorenzo St. DuBois: Hey, you're a German. Doc Goebbels: We're all Germans. Lorenzo St. DuBois: That's right. [gasps] Lorenzo St. DuBois: That means we CANNOT attack Germany.
We cannot know what the next move of life towards us will be; but life also cannot know what our next move towards life will be!
Corporate America cannot afford to remain silent or passive about the downward spiral we are undergoing. It cannot turn a blind eye to how difficult the experience of life is for so many of their customers.
The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else. The basis of all integrity and character is whatever faith we have in our own integrity.
We are trying to remake Vietnamese society, a task which certainly cannot be accomplished by force and which probably cannot be accomplished by any means available to outsiders.
Love cannot come from where love is not. We cannot express love from within us for another if there is no love for ourselves within us.
We don’t like to hurt. And there is no worse pain for fallen people than facing an emptiness we cannot fill. To enter into pain seems rather foolish when we can run from it through denial. We simply cannot get it through our head that, with a natur...
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
