Quote examples
Vladimir Putin
Russian Statesman
I have a very positive attitude to anyone who is protecting the environment, but it's inadmissible when people are using it as a means of promoting themselves, using it as a source of self-enrichment. I don't want to name any specific examples... but often, environmentalism is used to blackmail companies.
Quote examples
Vladimir Putin
Russian Statesman
In line with international law, only the U.N. Security Council could sanction the use of force against a sovereign state. Any other pretext or method which might be used to justify the use of force against an independent sovereign state are inadmissible and can only be interpreted as an aggression.
Quote examples
Emile Durkheim
French Sociologist
It is inadmissible that systems of ideas like religions, which have held so considerable a place in history, and to which, in all times, men have come to receive the energy which they must have to live, should be made up of a tissue of illusions.
Quote examples
Robert Bourassa
Canadian Politician
It seemed to be inadmissible to give in on such a fundamental point. This would have meant that any one who would have wanted to be a terrorist could gain eventually their freedom thanks to another kidnapping.
Quote examples
Jacob Weisberg
American Journalist
Not applying a religious test for public office means that people of all faiths are allowed to run - not that views about God, creation, and the moral order are inadmissible for political debate.
Quote examples
Marine Le Pen
French Politician
My father was kicked out of the National Front. He does whatever he wants. It doesn't concern me anymore... I don't talk to him, and I'm not responsible for him or his inadmissible remarks.
Quote examples
Nick Davies
British Journalist
A trial deals with only a limited amount of information, considering only the evidence which is available and also admissible and which relates directly to the charges on the indictment.
Quote examples
Martin Jacques
British Journalist
The fact that hardly anyone is ever prepared to admit to racist behaviour is perhaps a sort of strength: it speaks to the fact that racism is socially inadmissible.
Quote examples
Marshall Goldsmith
American Coach
Understanding the past is perfectly admissible if your issue is accepting the past. But if your issue is changing the future, understanding will not take you there.
Quote examples
Fidel Castro
Statesman
As we know, while our species remains alive, everybody has the sacred duty to be optimistic. Ethically, any other behaviour wouldn't be admissible.
