Doctrine is the frame-work of life; it is the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living graces of a holy life. It is only the lean creature whose bones become offensive.

I continually find it necessary to guard against that natural love of wealth and grandeur which prompts us always, when we come to apply our general doctrine to our own case, to claim an exception.

I'm a participant in the doctrine of constructive ambiguity.

Look, I think the notion that there's a dogma or doctrine of foreign policy that gives you a textbook recipe for how to react to all situations is really nonsense.

It is essential to naturalist doctrine that literature, to be good, must, finally, be the author's experience worked out literally.

I'm all for the Fairness Doctrine, whatever that is.

I am convinced that there is little force left in the Marxist stimulus to revolution. Its impetus is petering out as the practical failures of the doctrine become more obvious...What is left is a technique of subversion and a collection of catch-phrases. The former is still dangerous. Like terrorism, it is a menace that needs to be fought whenever it occurs.

Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.

The preaching that ignores the doctrine of Hell lowers the holiness of God and degrades the work of Christ.
