Arthur SchusterWe have to work sincerely and responsibly to thwart any attempt to divide the Arab nation into small groups, with which foreign countries would deal separately.

Slavoj ลฝiลพekLet's develop theories, patiently and honestly thinking them out, in order to promptly act against them โ acting and justifying our actions with new theories that condemn them.

David LimbaughWithout a sense of the shame or guilt of his or her action, the child will only be hardened in rebellion by physical punishment.

Like the Puritans, Locke (in 1690), wanted the child to adopt the parent's moral position, rather than simply bow to superior strength or social pressure.
C. Sommerville[E]ncouraging the Muslim world, and particularly the Arab Muslim world, which is the heart of the global terrorist threat - to adopt democratic ways and to shine the light of liberty into its culture of medieval darkness is a pragmatic necessity for the future security of the civilized world.

Susan BoyleTo allow same-sex couples to adopt children and then to label their families as second-class because the adoptive parents are of the same sex is cruel as well as unconstitutional.

Russell D. MooreWe must adopt reforms which will expand the range of opportunities for all Americans.
