Quotations regarding 'Cause'

In the present state of our knowledge, it would be useless to attempt to speculate on the remote cause of the electrical energy... its relation to chemical affinity is, however, sufficiently evident. May it not be identical with it, and an essential property of matter?
Humphry Davy, British Scientist (1778-1829)
The hesitancy is in the detail, not the principal. There has been no resistance to the principal of women playing in the Open if they are qualified for it. We are not dragging our feet. It's just that we never had cause to think about it before.
Peter Dawson, Australian Musician (1882-1961)
It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce the policy of strength toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness.

I don't know if people understand that there are different ways to raise money for great causes.
Rick Dees, American Entertainer (1950-  )

I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia.

If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess cause you've left me with nothing but I have worked with less.
Ani DiFranco, American Musician (1970-  )
Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.
Jared Diamond, American Author (1937-  )
In postscript let's just say that I am very fortunate cause I've gotten to work with a lot of great bands!
Jim Diamond, -

Wilhelm Dilthey, German Historian (1833-1911)

Paul Dirac, British Physicist (1902-1984)
People were already beginning to forget, what horrible suffering the war had brought them. I did not want to cause fear and panic, but to let people know how dreadful war is and so to stimulate people's powers of resistance.
Otto Dix, German Artist (1891-1969)
Smoking is the now the principal avoidable cause of premature death in Britain. It hits the worst off people hardest of all. Smoking is one of the principal causes of the health gap which leads to poorer people being ill more often and dying sooner.
Frank Dobson, British Politician (1940-  )
The association promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in any prior decisions.
William O. Douglas, American Judge (1898-1980)
I take advantage of every thing I can - age, hair, disability - because my cause is just.
