Quote examples
John Marshall
American Judge
The constitution is either a superior paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts, alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it. It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is. This is the very essence of judicial duty.
Quote examples
Bernard de Mandeville
English Philosopher
There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.
Quote examples
Alex Tabarrok
Canadian Economist
I utterly reject the view that the Third World is doomed to poverty and starvation. Not only is this wrong, I think this attitude verges on the immoral, like thinking that slavery is an unalterable facet of the human condition so why bother doing anything about it?
Quote examples
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian Leader
There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.
Quote examples
Henri Nouwen
Dutch Clergyman
The real enemies of our life are the 'oughts' and the 'ifs.' They pull us backward into the unalterable past and forward into the unpredictable future. But real life takes place in the here and now.
Quote examples
Thomas Paine
English Activist
Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.
Quote examples
Marquis de Lafayette
French Revolutionary
I can assure the Marquis de Chasteler that it is my unalterable determination never to set foot on any territory which acknowledges obedience to His Majesty the King of Bohemia and Hungary.
Quote examples
Therese Fowler
American Author
Conventional wisdom tells us to avoid taking unalterable action while at a low point in life. I have never been conventional.
Quote examples
John Pearson
British Theologian
Thirdly, Death is nothing else but a change of a short and temporary for an unalterable and eternal condition.
