I cannot surrender my principles, though the whole world besides should vote them down - I can make no compromise between truth and error, even though my life be the alternative.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them.
I've always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have. Those are the things that people vote for you on, that's the core of who you are. But there's always a boulevard between that and getting everything you want.
While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive.
The fact is, you never compromise on principles. If people on the far Left, they have a principle to stand by, they should never compromise; those of us on the Right should not either.
You can compromise without violating your principles, but it is nearly impossible to compromise when you turn principles into ideology.
It's not that I'm not willing to compromise. But I won't compromise on principles.
I follow a set of principles, I follow the Constitution. And that's what I base my votes on. Limited government, economic freedom and individual liberty.
Principles are the most important thing to me. One of the things I think my dad taught me was there are people who accept the world they live in and there are people who change the world they live in. I don't accept my circumstances.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.
