Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Doctrine divides, but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God's people who celebrate the truth of God together.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Doctrines, scriptures, sutras, essays, are not to be regarded as systems to be followed. They merely contribute to understanding. They should be for us a source of stimulation, and nothing more... Adopted, rather than used as a stimulus, they are a hindrance.
Wei Wu Wei
Image
Doctrine once sown strikes deep its root, and respect for antiquity influences all men.
William Harvey
Image
Doctrines are meant to serve man, not the other way around.
Amin Maalouf
Image
Doctrine is the frame-work of life it is the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living graces of a holy life. It is only the lean creature whose bones become offensive.
Adoniram Judson Gordon
Image
Doctrine does matter. But one must ever be reminded that to be right on doctrine does not mean one is right with the Lord.
John Napier
Image
Doctrine is not an affair of the tongue but of the life.
John Calvin
Image
Doctrine that eliminates or even obscures the function of choice of values and enlistment of desires and emotions in behalf of those chosen weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action. It thus helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
John Dewey
Image
Doctrine does matter.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The doctrine that the cure for the evils of democracy is more democracy is like saying that the cure of crime is more crime.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Christianity as a specific doctrine was slain with Jesus, suddenly and utterly. He was hardly cold in his grave, or high in his heaven (as you please), before the apostles dragged the tradition of him down to the level of the thing it has remained ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Methodological individualism is the doctrine that psychological states are individuated with respect to their causal powers.
Jerry Fodor
Image
Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is clever and earnest, hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully narrow and uncharitable if you hint that he is unsound!
J. C. Ryle
Image
Seditious libel is the doctrine that flourished in England during and after the Star Chamber. It is the hallmark of closed societies throughout the world. Under it, criticism of government is viewed as defamation and punished as a crime.
Harry Kalven
Image
Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.
George C. Marshall
Image
The orthodox doctrines of economics which were dominant in the last quarter of the nineteenth century had a clear message. They supported laisser faire, free trade, the gold standard, and the universally advantageous effects of the pursuit of profit by competitive private enterprise.
Joan Robinson
Image
Getting doctrine right is a matter of life and death, but holding that doctrine in the right spirit is essential too. A great deal of damage is done by those who hold the truth of Christ with the spirit of Satan.
J. D. Greear
Image
It was then that I began to look into the seams of your doctrine. I wanted only to pick at a single knot but when I had got that undone, the whole thing raveled out. And then I understood that it was all machine-sewn.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
I care only to know, if possible, the lasting meaning that lies in all religious doctrine from the beginning till now.
George Eliot
Image
The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation: The doctrine of a supreme, intelligent sovereign of the universe, I believe to be the great essential principle of all morality, and consequently of all civilization.
John Adams
Image
The doctrine of the Trinity which was established in the church by the council of Nice, A. D. 325. This doctrine destroys the personality of God, and his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
J. N. Andrews
Image
One of the surest ways to avoid even getting near false doctrine is to choose to be simple in our teaching.
Henry B. Eyring
Image
A doctrine is something that pins you down to a given mode of conduct and dozens of situations which you cannot foresee, which is a great mistake in principle. When the word 'containment' was used in my 'X' article, it was used with relation to a certain situation then prevailing, and as a response to it.
George F. Kennan
