If the set of principles put into play are flawed by base designs of corruption or personal aggrandizement, also will the character be flawed. It is by character that we stand to cry no compromise or conciliation with base corruption, abandonment of rule of law or constitutional liberties. Principles are the whole ball of moral and ethical standards so fundamental to the human spirit that they exist as basic truths. They're of intrinsic nature to humanity and one's self. Moral ideas are the starting point of principles with which we shape our lives.
Principles are the arrow of compass, our guiding star in the heavens.
They give you a temper of will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure over love of ease. They create in your heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life. It is by principles we learn that without moral responsibility the self government of a Republic cannot bring itself to fruition. A clear sense of principles should shine a light through the veil of pretense used to hide ulterior designs. Principles also carry a marker allowing us to compare and judge the validity of values an individual places on principles, it's called Integrity.
