Famous quotes with Justify

If the end does not justify the means - what can?

Edward Abbey
To leave in search of yourself, of your real needs, is easier when you don't have to justify yourself to anyone, when there are not too many people bestowing you their attention.

Isabelle Adjani
It will never do to plead sin as an excuse for sin, or to attempt to justify sinful acts by pleading that we have an evil heart. This instead of being a valid apology, is the very ground of our condemnation.

Archibald Alexander
There are so many things a large intelligence espionage organization can do to justify its existence, that people can get promotions for, because it could result in results.

Aldrich Ames
I came from a family who believed in, in quotes, the Rights of Man, who believed that in order to justify the sort of luxurious life that the majority of us have, related to the whole world, that you had to do something.

Richard Attenborough
