You can find some of my favorite quotations here The Index of measuring goodness seems to be different for minorities and majorities.
The worst of a minority becomes the benchmark for that minority, but the worst of a majority becomes a meager aberration. Don't ever give up what you want in life. The struggle is worth it. All religions with their gods, demigods, prophets, messiahs and saints are the product of the fancy
and credulity of men who have not yet reached the full development and complete personality
of their intellectual powers. An ideal society should be mobile, should be full of channels for conveying a change taking place in one part to other parts. In an ideal
society there should be many interests consciously communicated and shared. There should be varied and free points of contact with other modes
of association. In other words there should be social endomosis. This is fraternity, which is only another name for democracy.
Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living of conjoint communicated experience.
It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellowmen. There is only one success - to spend your life in your own way. Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you. When we have no power to create life then why should we harm life. The superior man... does not set his mind either for anything or against anything.
What is right he will follow. When you have to take your wife to dinner on a weekday. You must be screwing somebody Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the
survivors mind towards some resolution which it may never find. Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character
and person. The emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues
of another Our greatest weakness is giving up. The surest way to success is always to try just one more time To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first. To overcome self pity, do not dwell upon your troubles and difficulties. Let your attitudes be positive, not negative.
Think about your powers not about your problems. Thinking about our problems is one reason why we are so often ineffective in our efforts
to live satisfying life. Our difficulties should be faced courageously and every effort be made to live affirmatively. Laws are like spiders web which stand firm when any light yielding object falls upon them, while larger things break
through them and escape. |
