Text Quotes
The virtues of society are vices of the saint. The terror of reform is the discovery that we must cast away our virtues, or what we have always esteemed such, into the same pit that has consumed our grosser vices  (Reform Quotes) The church is always trying to get other people to reform, it might not be a bad idea to reform itself a little, by way of example  (Reform Quotes) The example alone of a vicious prince will corrupt an age; but that of a good one will not reform it  (Reform Quotes) There is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders  (Reform Quotes) I want to be a figure for prison reform. I think that the criminal justice system is rotten  (Reform Quotes) I’ve seen how the left has used it to accuse opponents of their version of reform of being bigots and racists  (Reform Quotes) Conservatism has always been about reforming government and solving problems, and that’s why the conservative movement should lead on immigration reform  (Reform Quotes) The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life  (Reform Quotes) It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research  (Reform Quotes) And some of what we’re doing in Government even now, some of the welfare reform programs that are helping lone mothers come into work are based on things that were very new under the Labour Government in the eighties  (Reform Quotes) Enough. Man is capable of reform once presented with the facts, and the fact is that bottling water and shipping it is a big waste of fuel, so stop already  (Reform Quotes) To attempt social reform, educational reform, industrial expansion, the moral improvement of the race without aiming, first and foremost, at political freedom is the very height of ignorance and futility  (Reform Quotes) The hallmark of an authentic evangelicalism is not the uncritical repetition of old traditions but the willingness to submit every tradition, however ancient, to fresh biblical scrutiny and, if necessary, reform  (Reform Quotes) Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the distemper’s that make an ordered life impossible  (Reform Quotes) It would be a great reform in politics if perception could be made to spread as easily and as rapidly as foolishness  (Reform Quotes) It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution  (Reform Quotes) The people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government and to reform, alter, or totally change the same when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it  (Reform Quotes) It is simple impertinence for any man, or any body of men, to begin, or to contemplate, reform of the whole world  (Reform Quotes) It’s important to remember, when we’re out there aggressively working for reform, that, even if our particular issue doesn’t get resolved, we are adding peace to the world. We have to do our best and at the same time give up all hope of fruition  (Reform Quotes) Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention; it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry  (Reform Quotes) Do not spill thy soul in running hither and yon, grieving over the mistakes and the vices of others. The one person whom it is most necessary to reform is yourself  (Reform Quotes) It came to me that reform should begin at home, and since that day I have not had time to remake the world  (Reform Quotes) Every reform by violence is to be deprecated, because it does little to correct the evil while men remain as they are, and because wisdom has no need of violence  (Reform Quotes) We should begin at the very root from which we spring, we should effect a radical reform in the character of the food  (Reform Quotes) Those who, while they disapprove of the character and measures of a government, yield to it their allegiance and support are undoubtedly its most conscientious supporters, and so frequently the most serious obstacles to reform  (Reform Quotes) For a long time I was ashamed of the way I lived. Did I reform, you ask? No. I’m not ashamed anymore  (Reform Quotes) Each generation doubtless feels called upon to reform the world. Mine knows that it will not reform it, but its task is perhaps even greater. It consists in preventing the world from destroying itself  (Reform Quotes) A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reform. It does not haggle over expenditures for armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain  (Reform Quotes) What honest boy would pride himself on not picking pockets? A thief who was trying to reform would. To be conceited of doing one’s duty is then a sign of how little one does it, and how little one sees what a contemptible thing it is not to do it. Could any but a low creature be conceited of not being contemptible? Until our duty becomes to us common as breathing, we are poor creatures  (Reform Quotes) He who seeks to regulate everything by law is more likely to arouse vices than to reform them. It is best to grant what cannot be abolished, even though it be in itself harmful. How many evils spring from luxury, envy, avarice, drunkenness and the like, yet these are tolerated because they cannot be prevented by legal enactments  (Reform Quotes)
