Quote by David Ansen

We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make. The value of what we love is enriched by our understanding of what we dislike.

We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make

Summary

This quote suggests that our personal preferences and opinions play a significant role in shaping our identity. The act of making distinctions and discriminations helps us determine what we love and what we dislike. By understanding and recognizing what we dislike, we are able to appreciate and value the things we love even more. This implies that our understanding of opposites or contrasts helps us cultivate a deeper appreciation and enriches our experiences and perceptions of the things we hold dear.

Dr. Franklin was for retaining the clause on impeachment, as favorable to the executive. History furnishes one example only of a first magistrate being formally brought to public justice. Every body cried out against this as unconstitutional. What was the practice before this, in cases where the chief magistrate rendered himself obnoxious? Why, recourse was had to assassination, in which he was not only deprived of his life, but of the opportunity of vindicating his character. It would be the best way, therefore, to provide in the Constitution for the regular punishment of the executive, where his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal, where he should be unjustly accused.
