Liberal child welfare experts decided that child abuse was not evidence of a moral or character flaw in the abusing parent. Instead, like poverty, crime, and homelessness, child abuse came to be viewed as evidence of a societal failure.
Mona Charen
Image
...arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and as a matter of law, unsupportable.
Luther L. Bohanon
Image
In prosperity, give thanks to God with humility and fear lest by pride you abuse God's benefits and so offend him.
Louis IX of France
Image
We hold that the greatest right in the world is the right to be wrong, that in the exercise thereof people have an inviolable right to express their unbridled thoughts on all topics and personalities, being liable only for the abuse of that right.
William Randolph Hearst
Image
The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society.

Let's talk about the other story: the women raped and killed. I don't believe it. Certainly there was no lack of excesses, but General Tikka Khan says that in those months he often invited the population to report abuses to him directly.

Epithets are not arguments. Abuse does not persuade.
Robert Green Ingersoll

He [man] abuses equally other animals and his own species, the rest of whom live in famine, languish in misery, and work only to satisfy the immoderate appetite and the still more insatiable vanity of this human being who, destroying others by want, destroys himself by excess.
Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon
Image
Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.
Voltaire

Hilaire Belloc
Image

The only merciful thing about drug abuse is the speed with which it devastates you. Alcoholics can take decades to destroy themselves and everyone they touch. The drug addict can accomplish this in a year or two. Of course, suicide is even more efficient.
