The abuse of faith has to be resisted precisely.
Joseph Ratzinger, German Clergyman (1927-  )
Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.
Ronald Reagan, American President (1911-2004)
The duty of responsibility placed on any MP is one of the greatest honours that can be bestowed and I for one don't believe the Conservative Party would abuse that trust by selecting someone who did not have the goods to do the job, just for the sake of media coverage.
Adam Rickitt, British Actor (1978-  )
It is, no doubt, an immense advantage to have done nothing, but one should not abuse it.
Antoine Rivarol, French Journalist
With power comes the abuse of power. And where there are bosses, there are crazy bosses. It's nothing new.
Judd Rose, American Journalist
Torture has been privatized now, so you have obviously the whole scandal in America about the abuse of prisoners and the fact that, army people might be made to pay a price, but who are the privatized torturers accountable too?
Arundhati Roy, Indian Novelist (1961-  )
By finding waste and abuse in entitlement programs, and eliminating it, we can ensure that the funds that are put into these programs go to the people that need them the most.
Jim Ryun, American Athlete (1947-  )
I am concerned about the growing problem of sexual abuse and exploitation of our children.
Jim Ryun, American Athlete (1947-  )
It is essential that there should not only be a limit on campaign spending but it should be required to say where that money is spent and how it is spent. I think there has been more abuse in campaign spending, actually, than in campaign contributors.
Bill Scott, American Actor (1920-1985)
Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly.
Bobby Scott, American Politician (1947-  )
We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
John Sculley, American Businessman (1939-  )
But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go.
Charles de Secondat, French Philosopher (1689-1755)
It is essential that we put an end to steroid abuse and set a better example for aspiring young athletes to follow, so that some day, when they make it in the All Star Game, it will be because of their own natural talents, and not because of a performance enhancing product.
Jim Sensenbrenner, American Politician (1943-  )
There was a reason my first substantial role after rehab was to play a maniac whose personal story ended badly. I knew what it was like to go those dark places. I played a guy who died as a result of his abuse.
Charlie Sheen, American Actor (1965-  )
For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Irish Playwright (1751-1816)
Pity those who nature abuses; never those who abuse nature.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Irish Playwright (1751-1816)
Bush sees the evil as out there in the wider world, residing in people who 'hate freedom'. Look at his immediate response to the pictures of prisoner abuse; this is not what Americans do, these are not our values.
Peter Singer, Australian Philosopher (1946-  )
Honesty, integrity, and accountability, the values, which should be the hallmark of this government, have instead been thrown under the bus by an arrogant majority, casualties in a misguided campaign to shield from accountability those who abuse this House.
Louise Slaughter, American Politician (1929-  )
This House cannot function without an open, accountable, and independent ethics process; and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand.
Louise Slaughter, American Politician (1929-  )
Judicial abuse occurs when judges substitute their own political views for the law.
Lamar S. Smith, American Politician (1947-  )
