Quotes by Guiding Principles I picked such seemingly disparate essays, I thought it was important to say what was the guiding principle in the selection rather than focus on any one essay. I reached for some principle that had been subconscious in me and lifted it into consciousness. Authenticity and sincerity were the most important unifying principles of all these apparently different essays. Alan Lightman guiding-principlesfocusimportant The one guiding principle over my 23-year career in TV has been as long as I'm having fun, I really don't care what the job title is.

Barbara Jordan guiding-principlescountryideas The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior. C. S. Lewis guiding-principlesanimalpast When we assume God to be a guiding principle well, sure enough, a god is usually characteristic of a certain system of thought or morality. For instance, take the Christian God, the summum bonum: God is love, love being the highest moral principle; and God is spirit, the spirit being the supreme idea of meaning. All our Christian moral concepts derive from such assumptions, and the supreme essence of all of them is what we call God.

Conservatism may often be a useful practical maxim, but it does not give us any guiding principles which can influence long-range developments.
