Doctrine Quotes

For the poet the credo or doctrine is not the point of arrival but is, on the contrary, the point of departure for the metaphysical journey. - Joseph Brodsky Quotes
There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind. - A Bartlett Giamatti Quotes

Will is nothing more than a particular case of the general doctrine of association of ideas, and therefore a perfectly mechanical thing. - Joseph Priestley Quotes
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person. - Socrates Quotes
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. - H L Mencken Quotes
I have found little that is good about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think. - Sigmund Freud Quotes

Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance.

Hands off! - Henry Miller Quotes
Now since France has three times in sixty years failed to obtain practical results from Political revolutions, all Europe is apt to press forward into new Social doctrine to regulate the future. - Lajos Kossuth Quotes
