Text Quotes
... wealth and female softness equally tend to debase mankind!  (Debase Quotes) I hate performers who debase great works of art; I long for their annihilation  (Debase Quotes) Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people  (Debase Quotes) The spectacle of a great, solvent government paying a fictitious price for gold it did not want and did not need and doing it on purpose to debase the value of its own paper currency was one to astonish the world  (Debase Quotes) And for man to look upon himself as a capital good, even if it did not impair his freedom, may seem to debase him... by investing in themselves people can enlarge the range of choice available to them. It is one way free men can enhance their welfare  (Debase Quotes) My boyfriends have all been as stoical as queen’s guards. They’d been patient, committed, and dispassionate, and I’d had to really debase myself to extract any emotion, either grin or grimace, from them  (Debase Quotes) The artist must try to raise the level of taste of the masses, not debase himself to the level of unformed and impoverished taste  (Debase Quotes) In my firm, we dealt in lies. Advertising is that... the skilful use of the truth to mislead, to spoil, to debase  (Debase Quotes) Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe  (Debase Quotes) The origins of disputes between philosophers is, that one class of them have undertaken to raise man by displaying his greatness, and the other to debase him by showing his miseries  (Debase Quotes) Were not the disadvantages of slavery too obvious to stand in need of it, I might enumerate and describe the tedious train of calamities inseparable from it. I might show that it is fatal to religion and morality; that it tends to debase the mind, and corrupt its noblest springs of action. I might show that it relaxes the sinews of industry, clips the wings of commerce, and introduces misery and indigence in every shape  (Debase Quotes) Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed  (Debase Quotes) Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It’s in our hands  (Debase Quotes) My boyfriends have all been as stoical as queen’s guards. They’d been patient, committed, and dispassionate, and I’d had to really debase myself to extract any emotion, either grin or grimace, from them.  (Debase Quotes) Our contemporary brand of socialism has one fatal flaw. It’s too expensive. When you try to shower benefits on so many recipients, you eventually must resort to subterfuge. Foremost among those tricks is money and credit expansion. Inevitably, you debase your currency.  (Debase Quotes) But when States did debase the coinage, it was always from purely fiscal motives. The government needed financial help, that was all; it was not concerned with questions of currency policy.  (Debase Quotes)
