Image
The risk of a terrorist victory is greater when in fighting terror, democracy betrays its own essence.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
Image
Anyone who promises that everything can be made the way it used to be with the recipes of the past betrays in reality the people he claims to represent. We must never participate in this betrayal and we must never allow this betrayal.
Matthias Platzeck
Image
Calligraphy may well be simply an artistic version of another form, that is the ideograms which make up the poem, but then not only does it reflect the character and temperament of the artist but . . . also betrays his heart rate, his breathing.
Sijie Dai
Image
The shy little Mayflower weaves her nest, But the south wind sighs o'er the fragrant loam, And betrays the path to her woodland home.
Sarah Helen Whitman
Image
In the case of my book, I don't think it's really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed, even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy, he betrays his teacher, the only adult man with whom he's enjoyed a sexual experience, etc.
Edmund White
Image
The business of a seer is to see and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It betrays hubris on the part of the artist to think his medium is limiting him, and I think we all recognize this
Steve Albini
Image
You fight so hard, so long, to cut someone out of your heart, but it’s not always your heart that betrays you.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Image
Life is a warfare and he who easily desponds deserts a double duty--he betrays the noblest property of man, which is dauntless resolution and he rejects the providence of that All-Gracious Being who guides and rules the universe.
Jane Porter
Image
Melancholy betrays the world for the sake of knowledge. But in its tenacious self-absorption it embraces dead objects in its contemplation, in order to redeem them
Walter Benjamin
Image
The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays
Francis Bacon
Image
There are seasons of our lives when nothing seems to be happening, when no smoke betrays a burned town or homestead and few tears are shed for the newly dead. I have learned not to trust those times, because if the world is at peace then it means someone is planning war.
Bernard Cornwell
Image
The friendly preacher who fails to warn of the reality of Hell, betrays the Son of God with a kiss.
Ray Comfort
Image
There is nothing that more betrays a base ungenerous spirit than the giving of secret stabs to a man's reputation. Lampoons and satires that are written with wit and spirit are like poisoned darts, which not only inflict a wound, but make it incurable.
Joseph Addison
Image
To deny that human beings are filled with anti-social passions betrays a denial of reality and a lack of self-awareness. One has to be taught nonsense for a great many formative years to believe it.
Dennis Prager
Image
Nothing more strikingly betrays the credulity of mankind than medicine. Quackery is a thing universal, and universally successful. In this case it becomes literally true that no imposition is too great for the credulity of men.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Language betrays, in order to mean.
Terence McKenna
Image
If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
Martin Luther
Image
Forgiveness does not come easily to us, especially when someone we have trusted betrays our trust. And yet if we do not learn to forgive, we will discover that we can never really rebuild trust.
Billy Graham
Image
Ford Motor Company's sluggish and piecemeal approach to its automotive responsibilities betrays motorists' safety.
Ralph Nader
Image
A church that suffers no persecution but enjoys the privileges and support of the things of the earth - beware! - is not the true church of Jesus Christ. A preaching that does not point out sin is not the preaching of the gospel. A preaching that makes sinners feel good, so that they are secured in their sinful state, betrays the gospel's call.
Oscar Romero
Image
Nothing betrays imbecility so much as the being insensible of it.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
The present necessarily betrays the past.
Mason Cooley
Image
If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy we cannot afford to be intolerant. Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.
