A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.

Our principles are the springs of our actions. Our actions, the springs of our happiness or misery. Too much care, therefore, cannot be taken in forming our principles.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain.

The most useful thing about a principle is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency.

Curiously, a principle affects your life whether you are aware of it or not. For instance, the principle of gravity was working long before the apple ever fell on Newton's head. But once it did, and he understood it, then we as a society were free to harness this principle to create, among other things, airline flight.

While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive.

Principle says it's not who put forth an idea. It's not the position of the person who put forth an idea; it's not the longevity of the person or the party of the person. That's not what it is at all. In a power system, that's the way it works. But in a principle system, it's what it says.

There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.
