Young people have been educated and raised to believe that that aspect of our history disqualifies America from ever being anything that you can justify, from ever being anything great, from ever being anything with any goodness in it, that the United States is forever blemished.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
I am no longer amazed by how quickly a man will justify his change of heart when a spear is leveled his way.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
The temptation to be popular may prioritize public opinion above the word of God. Political campaigns and marketing strategies widely employ public opinion polls to shape their plans. Results of those polls are informative. But they could hardly be used as grounds to justify disobedience to God’s commandments!
Russell M. Nelson
Image
I am not going to apologize for speaking the Name of Jesus, I am not going to justify my faith to them, and I am not going to hide the light that God has put in me. If I have to sacrifice everything... I will.
Rachel
Image
Strikes and boycotting are akin to war, and can be justified only on grounds analogous to those which justify war, viz., intolerable injustice and oppression.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Image
Man has an innate capacity for violence, but can only justify it in the name of justice.
Ralph Steadman
Image
I think when you're reaching outside of something you're comfortable doing, you're just heading towards a light. I don't think you stop to justify it.
Sally Field
Image
Christians take Scriptures out of context to try to justify or to vindicate retreat and cowardice.
Randall Terry
Image
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
Salman Rushdie
Image
The actual and potential harm of use of the drug is not great enough to justify intrusion by the criminal law into private behavior, a step which our society takes only 'with the greatest reluctance’.
Raymond P. Shafer
Image
Whenever we approve, we can find a hundred good reasons to justify our approbation. Whenever we dislike, we can find a thousand to justify our dislike.
Samuel Richardson
Image
Religion doesn't make people bigots. People are bigots and they use religion to justify their ideology.
Reza Aslan
Image
When you're a liar, a person of low moral fortitude, really any explanation you need to be true can be true. Especially if you're smart enough. You can figure out a way to justify anything.
Samuel Witwer
Image
The whole point of religious faith, its strength and chief glory, is that it does not depend on rational justification. The rest of us are expected to defend our prejudices. But ask a religious person to justify their faith and you infringe 'religious liberty'.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I feel history is more of a story than a lesson. I know this idea of presentism: this idea of constantly evoking the past to justify the present moment. A lot of people will tell you, history is how we got here. And learning from the lessons of history. But that's imperfect. If you learn from history you can do things for all the wrong reasons
Sarnath Banerjee
Image
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
Richard Perle
Image
If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.
Seth MacFarlane
Image
Of all hostile feelings, envy is perhaps the hardest to be subdued, because hardly any one owns it even to himself, but looks out for one pretext after another to justify his hostility.
Richard Whately
Image
The first thing to note is that pornography and many abductions occur apart from the use of computers, and that most child abuse happens within the family. So I think the extra degree of danger that computers pose doesn't justify the frenzy.
Seymour Papert
Image
The experience of life that you and I have is pretty much a jigsaw puzzle in the box: Day-to-day experiences of disconnected pieces that don't seem to justify the efforts we make each day.
Robert Adams
Image
Men's ideas about what women are have been formed from their ruling caste position, and have assigned women characteristics that would most advantage their masters, as well as justify men's rule over them. They do not represent 'truth' but have been promoted as if they were, with the backing of science and patriarchal views of biology.
Sheila Jeffreys
Image
Everyone knows drones are being deployed outside the US for assassinations. Let's say you even believe in drones. Shouldn't we have a system that would justify their use? i.e. we did this attack, because these bad guys were there, and here's what we did. We don't even have that.
Robert Greenwald
Image
The 'natural' is not necessarily a 'human' value. Humanity has begun to transcend nature: we can no longer justify the maintenance of a discriminatory sex class system on grounds of its origins in nature. Indeed, for pragmatic reasons alone it is beginning to look as if we must get rid of it.
Shulamith Firestone
Image
If the ends don't justify the means, then what does?
