Moi did not get the slur OLD FART without reason. What was once a slur is now a badge of honor. So it is with principles as opposed to the thought fashion of the moment. What was once a slur, about sticking to one’s principles will over time become a badge of honor. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar is sticking to one’s principles.
Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.
Abraham Lincoln
There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.
Stephen Covey
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Thomas Paine

Margaret Thatcher
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
