5
Man can and does rationalize his sins. He finds reasons for all his weakness, invents excuses that first calm and then deaden his conscience. He blames God, society, education, and environment for his wrong doing.
6
The very word ‘secrecy‘ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
7

17
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
18
Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one’s thoughts but also to be talented in one’s feelings as well.
19
20
But, actually, so many of the clerics that I’ve met, particularly the Church of England clerics, are people of such extraordinary smugness and arrogance and conceitedness who are extraordinarily presumptuous about the significance of their position in society.
21
22
What Western society teaches us is that if you get enough money, power, and beautiful people to have sex with, that’s going to bring you happiness. That’s what every commercial, every magazine, music, movie teaches us. That’s a fallacy.
23

25
Our society is full of hypocrites and irrational people.
26
27
28

35
36
We as the governments, workers, employers and civil society must declare a war on child labour. This war cannot be won without strong, committed, coherent, and well-resourced worldwide movement. Equally needed is a genuine and active coordination between intergovernmental agencies at the highest level.
37
The power of youth is the common wealth for the entire world. The faces of young people are the faces of our past, our present and our future. No segment in the society can match with the power, idealism, enthusiasm and courage of the young people.
38
39
40
All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.
41
42
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

50
51
I couldn’t really say that a repressive society would result in creative art. But somehow it does help, it is an ingredient, it acts as a Catalyst to a man who is committed.
52
53

60
61

62
63
64
65
66
Conservatism is the perfect antidote to underdevelopment. Its commitment to individual responsibility, education, hard work, personal initiative, traditional family values and free markets is a universal formula for success in a free society.
67
The individual is not accountable to society for his actions in so far as these concern the interests of no person but himself.
68

We educated, privileged lawyers have a professional and moral duty to represent the underrepresented in our society, to ensure that justice exists for all, both legal and economic justice.
70

83
84
The Zionists indeed learnt well from the Nazis. So well that it seems that their morally repugnant treatment of the Palestinians, and their attempts to destroy Palestinian society within Israel and the occupied territories, reveals them as basically Nazis with beards and black hats.
85
86
87
88
Society sets us up to be everything but ourselves, but I want to take a moment and say to people, love yourself. Find your purpose. You are unique, and that makes you great. I pursued my dreams. You can do it, too.
89
Friendship! Mysterious cement of the soul, Sweet’ner of life, and solder of society.
90

Public schools were designed as the great equalizers of our society – the place where all children could have access to educational opportunities to make something of themselves in adulthood.

96
In my view – which could be wrong, but it is my field – there is no better formula for social instability than to divide a society between two ascribed characteristics that are seen as opposite.
97
98
Society honors its living conformists and its dead troublemakers.
99
America is just the country that how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society.
100
101
102
103
A healthy society rests on three pillars: business, government and civil society, or non-profits. Each has a distinct and important role to play, and all three need to work together synergistically to create the most value for society.

Money is catching up to the technological trends transforming all aspects of society and business; entertainment, insurance, health-care, gaming, leisure, retail – all commercial and social verticals are going digital – including money itself.
105
106
107
Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.
108

Anarchism means all sort of things to different people, but the traditional anarchists’ movements assumed that there’d be a highly organized society, just one organized from below with direct participation and so on.
120
121
The Chinese art world does not exist. In a society that restricts individual freedoms and violates human rights, anything that calls itself creative or independent is a pretence. It is impossible for a totalitarian society to create anything with passion and imagination.
122
A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can’t do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships.
123
If we don’t figure out a way to create equity, real equity, of opportunity and access, to good schools, housing, health care, and decent paying jobs, we’re not going to survive as a productive and healthy society.
124
There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones.

129
Whatever flaws or personal failings afflict them, it remains the case that the overwhelming majority of priests and politicians are honourable and honest – seeking to live out their beliefs and serve society.
130
131
132
The most violent element in society is ignorance.
133
134
135
I think it’s important to hold a mirror up to society and yourself.
136
In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it.
137
138
Holocaust survivors came to Israel in order to establish a new human society where nobody would be able to hurt them just because they’re Jewish. This is both a furious and vulnerable message.
139
Mike Huckabee and indeed many of the Christian conservatives in the U.S. have far more in common with the Muslim Brotherhood than they’d like to admit, in that all of them very much want to see a role of religion in society.
140
Black Lives Matter is not just concerned with what happens in policing. The disregard, the disrespect, and the lack of dignity for black life transcends through the fabric of our society.
141

142
143

144
The tools that a society uses to create and maintain itself are as central to human life as a hive is to bee life. Though the hive is not part of any individual bee, it is part of the colony, both shaped by and shaping the lives of its inhabitants.

150
151
152
Someone who does an act. In a democratic society, you’re supposed to be an activist; that is, you participate. It could be a letter written to an editor.
153
Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.

Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.
156
157
158
It’s one of these things that I’ve been struck by for so long about America. You know, this amazing politeness of American life that’s not at all class specific. It’s not like people get more polite as ascend the hierarchy of society. Just incredible good manners. It’s always been something that I’ve noticed.
159
160
The fundamental defect of fathers, in our competitive society, is that they want their children to be a credit to them.
161
162
163

170
Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime.
171
Strong women, when respected, make the whole society stronger. One must be careful with such rapid changes, though, and make an effort to preserve, at the same time, the positive traditions of Indian culture.
172
173
Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society.
174
Our biggest struggle as human beings is to project ourselves as something that society has deemed admirable or likable instead of being honest.
175
176
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
177
If we depend for our happiness on another, on society or on environment, they become essential to us; we cling to them, and any alteration of these we violently oppose because we depend upon them for our psychological security and comfort.
178
Integrity is essential and irreplaceable. It is the most valuable asset for a person, a company, or a society seeking to build and progress.
179
180

181
Dementia is often regarded as an embarrassing condition that should be hushed up and not spoken about. But I feel passionately that more needs to be done to raise awareness, which is why I became an ambassador for the Alzheimer‘s Society.
182
As in geology, so in social institutions, we may discover the causes of all past changes in the present invariable order of society.
183

189

A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world.
191
If you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong; if you’re black and you’re wrong, you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green – God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.
192
193
A state of society where men may not speak their minds cannot long endure.

204
205
206
Mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats.
207
208
The great principle of Western society is that competition rules here as it rules in everything else. The best man – that is to say, the strongest and cleverest – is likely to get the best woman, in the sense of the most beautiful person.
209
A good society is characterised not just by liberty but by mutual respect and responsibility. When this breaks down it takes a lot more than police officers to put things right.
210
There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.
211

212
213
I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.
214
215
Women are the real architects of society.
216

221
Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for making the Anglo Saxon race but one Empire? What a dream, but yet it is probable; it is possible.
222
223
Society is based on the assumption that everyone is alike and no one is alive.
224
225
Any society based on domination supports and condones violence.
226
227
There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.
228
229
230
Overall, we think religion is a good thing. I mean, if we were godless society, we would have many other problems; the communists found that out.
231
This avidity alone, of acquiring goods and possessions for ourselves and our nearest friends, is insatiable, perpetual, universal, and directly destructive of society.
232
233
The Supreme Court‘s only armor is the cloak of public trust; its sole ammunition, the collective hopes of our society.
234
We live in the kind of society where, in almost all cases, hard work is rewarded.

236
237
We seek to create a united Democratic and non-racial society.
238
In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
239
240
I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don’t need a national ID card.
241
As a free-speech advocate, I believe that adults should have access to any material they want. As a parent, and a community member, I think people should be able to protect their homes from imagery – much of it violent – that is, I feel, a form of child abuse when adult society inflicts it upon children.
242
A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons will also be good.
243
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
244
Most whites live, grow, play, learn, love, work and die primarily in social and geographic racial segregation. Yet, our society does not teach us to see this as a loss. Pause for a moment and consider the magnitude of this message: We lose nothing of value by having no cross-racial relationships.
245
Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.
246
I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living, I also think it’s really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society.
247
248
The New Order wants to implement democracy in economy. It is an order to achieve a social, political, economic, and cultural society with Pancasila and Belief in God Almighty as our moral values.
249
Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society.
250
The question of the family now divides our society so deeply that the opposing sides cannot even agree on a definition of the institution they are arguing about.
251
252
253
The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
254
255
I mean, I’m married to an academic oncologist, a cancer doctor, okay? He and his colleagues are some of the most conscientious, devoted, hard-working, conventional bourgeois people in the known universe. They are the people that keep this society going.
256
Remove advertising, disable a person or firm from proclaiming its wares and their merits, and the whole of society and of the economy is transformed. The enemies of advertising are the enemies of freedom.
257
258
Passion must be concealed in a society where cold reserve and indifference are the signs of good breeding.
259
260
I think right now the way society’s going, I think role models are important, and kids need direction. If I didn’t have that direction growing up, who knows what I could be doing, because I’ve been lost many times in my life, and I’ve had to have someone guide me back on the right path.
261
How many of you have broken no laws this month? That’s the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee – with physics and mathematics, not with laws – that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications.
262
263
264

265
Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society.
266
We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave society devoid of belief.
267
The family is the first essential cell of human society.
268
You’re scrutinized all through your life – you’re scrutinized by your family, by yourself, by society, and your friends in a certain way, shape, or form.
269
The remedy for speech that is false is speech that is true. This is the ordinary course in a free society. The response to the unreasoned is the rational; to the uninformed, the enlightened; to the straight-out lie, the simple truth.
270
271
Here is the root of all romanticism: that man, the individual, is an infinite reservoir of possibilities, and if you can so rearrange society by the destruction of oppressive order, then these possibilities will have a chance, and you will get Progress.
272
In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.
273
274
275
276
277
The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
278
Society lives by faith, and develops by science.
279
The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.
280
281
A multicultural society does not reject the culture of the other but is prepared to listen, to see, to dialogue and, in the final analysis, to possibly accept the other’s culture without compromising its own.
282
283
Our society distributes itself into Barbarians, Philistines and Populace; and America is just ourselves with the Barbarians quite left out, and the Populace nearly.
284
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
285
We have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society.
286
287
Voting is how we participate in a civic society – be it for president, be it for a municipal election. It’s the way we teach our children – in school elections – how to be citizens, and the importance of their voice.
288
Women have face-lifts in a society in which women without them appear to vanish from sight.
289
I learned to see myself and my role as a capitalist… as somebody who’s trying to harness, for myself and for society, the power of greed and the power of the will to acquire into something that makes the world a better place. That’s the version of capitalism that we want.
290
291
Everything is a risk in Pakistan: If you defend women, it’s a risk. If you defend non-Muslims it’s a risk. If you discuss religion, it’s a risk. But you can’t really sit there like a vegetable in your own society. And I’m committed to that society… and I feel I need to turn around and speak as I should.
292
The Internet: transforming society and shaping the future through chat.
293
The word ‘midget’ is a slur. It evolved from P. T. Barnum’s era of circuses and freak shows. Society has evolved. So should our vocabulary. Language is a powerful tool. It does not just name our society. It shapes it.
294
Popular culture is most powerful when it offers us a vision of how our society should look – or at least reproduces our reality.
295
Communication is at the very core of our society. That’s what makes us human.
296
None of us, no matter how perfect, can claim that the building of a new society and the marshalling of a former liberation movement into a modern political party all happen in a straight line.
297
The Royal Family have always had an interest in a number of different areas of society. We are a part of society.
298
Legal discrimination between the sexes is, in almost every instance, founded on outmoded views of society and the pre-scientific beliefs about psychology and physiology. It is time to sweep away these relics of the past and set further generations free of them.
299
Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons.
300
Radical Chic, after all, is only radical in Style; in its heart it is part of Society and its traditions.
301
Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.
302
The general will rules in society as the private will governs each separate individual.
303
304
305
306
307
Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within a society.
308
Regardless of what society says, we can’t go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming.
309
I’m an Afro-realist. I take what comes, and I do my best to affect what is unacceptable in society.
310
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.
311
One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.
312
Along the way, let’s never forget that once we were children and that we were all playing together without distinction of skin color, society level, or where people come from. Adults need to remember to play and to be more childlike in our behavior. We’ve forgotten what that childlike experience was like.
313
I think the sooner that all of us in society stop accepting any type of bullying or harassment from other people – in spite of people’s social standing or net worth or whatever it is – the sooner it will stop.
314
If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society’s heroes.
315
It is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced.
316
The highest hallmark of a civilized society is not the rapidity by which it exacts vengeance, but its ability to hold victim and victimizer in its compassionate heart.
317
The permissive society has been allowed to become a dirty phrase. A better phrase is the civilised society.
318
319
320
In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.
321
Intuition becomes increasingly valuable in the new information society precisely because there is so much data.
322
In the final analysis, poverty is a condition of helplessness – of inability to cope with the conditions of existence in our complex society.
323
The PML-N is working on the lines of ‘humanity first,’ and the government, as such, has taken every possible step to improve the living standard of less privileged associates of our society.
324
The existing legal constitution is nothing but the product of a revolution. Revolution is the act of political creation in the history of classes, while constitutional legislation is the expression of the continual political vegetation of a society.
325
326
All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true, how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances, such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
327
The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution – nor by the courts – nor by the officers of the law – nor by the lawyers – but by the men and women who constitute our society – who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law.
328
Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don’t succeed, you won’t be in your profession for long. In our society, it’s not about good or bad. It’s about who’s on top.
329
330
I think there’s been this whole image of masculinity that’s been out in society – of brooding, brutish, egotistical, narcissistic men – like, this patriarchy.
331
Society is unity in diversity.
332
333
Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both.
334
The Kingdom is the love of God prevailing in politics, in business, in government, in media. It is all the impact of the laws of God creating a social environment where the strong help the weak, where those who have give to those who don’t. It’s a society where relationships are built on love.
335
336
337
Sports are a microcosm of society.
338
Human society sustains itself by transforming nature into garbage.
339
Some people think that religion is not essential to society. I do not hold this view. I consider the foundation of religion to be essential to the life and practices of a society.
340
I would say that no film is apolitical. There are politics in all films. Any film that is anchored in a society, any film that deals with humanity is necessarily political.
341
There are so many people and organisations that work quietly and diligently for the poor and the disadvantaged. We should also work with unity and purpose to ensure that the benefits of government policies reach all sections of society.
342
No fundamental social change occurs merely because government acts. It’s because civil society, the conscience of a country, begins to rise up and demand – demand – demand change.
343
344
My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we’re doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.
345
346
When one lives in a society where people can no longer rely on the institutions to tell them the truth, the truth must come from culture and art.
347
348
349
The sign of a civilised society is how we treat the most vulnerable and our social care system is not up to scratch.
350
351
Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue.
352
The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.
353
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
354
Elon Musk is worried about AI apocalypse, but I am worried about people losing their jobs. The society will have to adapt to a situation where people learn throughout their lives depending on the skills needed in the marketplace.
355
You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.
356
357
Because we believe that our ethnic group, our society, our political party, our God, is better than your God, we kill each other.
358
359
360
We live in a society bloated with data yet starved for wisdom. We’re connected 24/7, yet anxiety, fear, depression and loneliness is at an all-time high. We must course-correct.
361
It’s going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool.
362
Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
363
364
365
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
366
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a society where you can say whatever you want, and there will be no repercussions. Pick and choose your battles. I think that’s the key.
367
In just about every area of society, there’s nothing more important than ethics.
368
A vibrant civil society can challenge those in power by documenting corruption or uncovering activities like the murder of political enemies. In democracies, this function is mostly performed by the media, NGOs or opposition parties.
369
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
370
If you had no new technology, and you powered society as we do today – mostly by fossil fuels – you’d have only two choices: Doom yourself to horrific climate change by burning all that carbon and releasing all that CO2. Or power down society, reducing total energy usage around the planet.
371
The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.
372
Revolution is born as a social entity within the oppressor society.
373
A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
374
The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare, no matter what happens to the world, that’s not equity, it’s just creating a society where you can’t ask anything of people.
375
I believe that every American should have stable, dignified housing; health care; education – that the most very basic needs to sustain modern life should be guaranteed in a moral society.
376
I want to be a traditional king first and foremost, building on the tradition of my predecessors standing for continuity and stability in this country, but also a 21st-century king who can unite, represent and encourage society.
377
378
My foundation now has some 120 football pitches laid out for children, a lot of them immigrants. We live in a multicultural society.
379
380
381
Society is like the air, necessary to breathe but insufficient to live on.
382
The human mind is a dramatic structure in itself and our society is absolutely saturated with drama.
383
If we had any nerve at all, if we had any real balls as a society, or whatever you need, whatever quality you need, real character, we would make an effort to really address the wrongs in this society, righteously.
384
Far from being the basis of the good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all our discontents.
385
386
I use the term ‘disabled people’ quite deliberately, because I subscribe to what’s called the social model of disability, which tells us that we are more disabled by the society that we live in than by our bodies and our diagnoses.
387
388
Half of my life, I’ve had people staring at me because they think I’m funny-looking and ugly. The other half of my life, I’ve had people staring at me because they think I’m fascinating. Everything neutralises. It’s more of a statement on society and how weird it is.
389
Our nation’s founding fathers carefully crafted a Bill of Rights – an articulation of personal liberties woven into the entire fabric of our free society. When any of those freedoms are threatened anywhere, they must be defended and protected everywhere.
390
I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
391
392
393
394
All over the world, independent and strong civil society – NGOs, faith leaders, and other community advocates – help governments solve problems and better serve their people better by shining a light on the issues that matter most – like education standards, access to healthcare, the rule of law, and economic opportunity.
395
Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.
396
Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being.
397
Through all aspects of society be it art, design, the financial markets, government, technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation – the result of which is impossible to predict.
398
If those in charge of our society – politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television – can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.
399
There are similarities between being an editor and a tailor. Tailors have a vast supply of fabrics, buttons and thread at their disposal and put it together to make a whole. That’s what an editor does – looks at society at a given time and pulls together the interesting aspects into a single issue each month.
400
My hope is that light, flexible architecture might bring about a new and open society.
401
402
403
404
I think the greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.
405
If we don’t change from a world society that worships money and power to one that worships compassion and generosity, I think we’ll be extinct by mid-century. I don’t say that as an alarmist or as a pessimist.
406
I think our society has sort of built this gender binary, and the way we’ve said it exists does not really exist in nature.
407
408
409
A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.
410
411
I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.
412
If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society.
413
The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
414
More Than’ means refusing to define yourself according to what society dictates, or everyone around you thinks you should do or be.
415
We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.
416
You can never squash something and assume it’s not going to come back in some fashion. It’s going to bubble up until it explodes. Society evolves to find a better way.
417
The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I’m against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
418
In every human society, there is an effort continually tending to confer on one part the height of power and happiness, and to reduce the other to the extreme of weakness and misery. The intent of good laws is to oppose this effort and to diffuse their influence universally and equally.
419
A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
420
A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.
421
I grew up in a society with a very ancient and strong oral storytelling tradition. I was told stories, as a child, by my grandmother, and my father as well.
422
423
To live fixated on the future is to engage in psychological denial. It is a form of psychic violence that prepares us to accept the violence needed to ensure the maintenance of imperialist, future-oriented society.
424
Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.
425
Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society – a future world that could plausibly happen.
426
Our society constantly promotes role models for masculinity, from superheroes to politicians, where the concept of being a ‘man’ is based in their ability to be tough, dominant – and even violent when required.
427
428
429
Remember and help America remember that the fellowship of human beings is more important than the fellowship of race and class and gender in a democratic society.
430
One of the things that hold together a human society is the existence of basic politeness among its members.
431
The functions of the family in a highly differentiated society are not to be interpreted as functions directly on behalf of the society, but on behalf of personality.
432
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don’t. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.
433
434
435
The ‘Bohemian Manifesto‘ represents those that actually have to step out of society because they cannot join, but then they become the saviors of society because they create the actual possibilities of change.
436
Advertising reflects the mores of society, but it does not influence them.
437
I know that one day all transgender individuals will have the freedom to be who they are, no matter what. And we won’t have to face the cruel judgments of society. We can just live our lives and be treated and respected like everyone else.
438
I would suggest that faith is everyone’s business. The advance or decline of faith is so intimately connected to the welfare of a society that it should be of particular interest to a politician.
439
There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole – women and men alike – than the one which involves women as central players.
440
441
Ants can live together in solidarity and forget themselves in the community. In a normative capitalist society, everyone is an egoist. In the ants’ civilization, you are part of the group; you don’t live for yourself alone.
442
443
444
There are no heroes in most of my stories. I look at our society with a critical eye and find nothing extraordinary in the people I see.
445
446
If co-operation, is thus the lifeblood of science and technology, it is similarly vital to society as a whole.
447
Rule of law is the most important element in any civil society.
448
449
I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called ‘rock and roll.’
450
451
452
Some people ask why people would go into a dark room to be scared. I say they are already scared, and they need to have that fear manipulated and massaged. I think of horror movies as the disturbed dreams of a society.
453
Building sustainable cities – and a sustainable future – will need open dialogue among all branches of national, regional and local government. And it will need the engagement of all stakeholders – including the private sector and civil society, and especially the poor and marginalized.
454
We should be teaching young girls to take up space. Nothing is as important as taking up space in society and cementing yourself.
455
Every society needs to examine itself in relation to other societies.
456
457
Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless.
458
I told our employees several times, ‘Let’s focus on the end user, let’s focus on committing to society, and focus on the crisis and doing the right thing, show our corporate social responsibility.’ Don’t focus on marketing and sales. That’s horrible culture.
459
460
Society exists for the benefit of its members, not the members for the benefit of society.
461
Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
462
Traditional marriage between a man and a woman has been a cornerstone of our society for generations. If we are going to change that, it ought to be done by the will of the people.
463
464
One of the main inspirations behind The Power of Makeup was bullies and the one thing I believe in is that makeup is not just society, it’s for you.
465
466
Improved maternal health benefits the whole of society.
467
If we provide quality education to one generation, poverty will automatically be eradicated from society.
468
469
The feminist movement is not about success for women. It is about treating women as victims and about telling women that you can’t succeed because society is unfair to you, and I think that’s a very unfortunate idea to put in the minds of young women because I believe women can do whatever they want.
470
Athletes can definitely have an impact on society. And it’s great that athletes can be a part of uniting the population.
471
Cockroaches and socialites are the only things that can stay up all night and eat anything.
472
473
We need to say that women have sex, have abortions, are at peace with the decision, and move on with their lives. We need to say that is their right, and, moreover, it’s good for everyone that they have this right: The whole society benefits when motherhood is voluntary.
474
475
I give away something up to $500 million a year throughout the world promoting Open Society. My foundations support people in the country who care about an open society. It’s their work that I’m supporting. So it’s not me doing it.
476
It is good for society to have this introspection.
477
Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.
478
479
The individual can maintain himself in a society definitely organized only through possessing an equally definite mental and moral constitution. This is what the neuropath lacks. His state of disturbance causes him to be constantly taken by surprise by circumstances.
480
481
Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.
482
We are shifting from a managerial society to an entrepreneurial society.
483
One of the most destructive things that’s happening in modern society is that we are losing our sense of the bonds that bind people together – which can lead to nightmares of social collapse.
484
Socrates gave a lifetime to the outpouring of his substance in the shape of the greatest benefits bestowed on all who cared to receive them. In other words, he made those who lived in his society better men and sent them on their way rejoicing.
485
Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source, and so on.
486
When people treat you mean, you dislike them for that, but not because of their person, who they are. I was born and raised in a segregated society, but when I left there, I had nobody I disliked other than the people that’d mistreated me, and that only lasted for as long as they were mistreating me.
487
One of the main lessons I have learned during my five years as Secretary-General is that broad partnerships are the key to solving broad challenges. When governments, the United Nations, businesses, philanthropies and civil society work hand-in-hand, we can achieve great things.
488
Mental health is an issue ailing everyone – it is so omnipresent in society, we must work towards making it better.
489
Bigotry or prejudice in any form is more than a problem; it is a deep-seated evil within our society.
490
We are a society that has been structured from top to bottom by race. You don’t get beyond that by deciding not to talk about it anymore. It will always come back; it will always reassert itself over and over again.
491
492
When we change the way we communicate, we change society.
493
I should tie myself to no particular system of society other than of socialism.
494
Manners are the basic building blocks of civil society.
495
The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.
496
If anything needs to get fixed in society, it’s people’s consumption of other people’s problems.
497
498
No one should suffer from the great delusion that any form of communism or socialism which promotes the dictatorship of the few instead of the initiative of the millions can produce a happier or more prosperous society.
499
I think if I hadn’t been born in a pit village I’d have been part of a dramatic society.
500
New technologies always reshape society, and it’s always tempting to worry about them solely for this reason.
501
502
503
To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It’s a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society, how it functions, how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.
504
How a society treats its disabled is the true measure of a civilization.
505
Vampires are sleek demons for good times. They suavely leech off society – like investment bankers who plunder outsize shares of deals for themselves or rapacious fund managers.
506
507
508
I loved clinical practice, but in public health, you can impact more than one person at a time. The whole society is your patient.
509
Language has no independent existence apart from the people who use it. It is not an end in itself; it is a means to an end of understanding who you are and what society is like.
510
511
Long before we understand ourselves through the process of self-examination, we understand ourselves in a self-evident way in the family, society and state in which we live.
512
Economic progress, in capitalist society, means turmoil.
513
Do you know what we are those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.
514
515
Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.
516
517
We do have a distorted view of our fantasies in society, but that’s because we don’t talk about them enough.
518
519
Adolescence is society’s permission slip for combining physical maturity with psychological irresponsibility.
520
In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.
521
522
523
In any authoritarian society, the possessor of power dictates, and if you try and step outside, he will come after you. This is equally true of Sovietism, of China and of Iran, and in our time it has happened a lot in Islam. The point is that it’s worse when the authoritarianism is supported by something supernatural.
524
We cannot imagine democracies without a vibrant civil society.
525
The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.
526
I think rap music is brought up, gangster rap in particular, as well as video games, every other thing they try to hang the ills of society on as a scapegoat.
527
Black men constantly receive the message that they can’t make it in life through using legitimate means, and the only way they gain society’s respect is through the street game.
528
The great hope of society is in individual character.
529
The sign of a good society is where talent is respected.
530
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.
531
Two things form the bedrock of any open society – freedom of expression and rule of law. If you don’t have those things, you don’t have a free country.
532
Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and, through it, the chief concern of the Chinese people.
533
534
Marriage cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society.
535
536
Descriptive grammar is an attempt to give an account of what the current system is for either a society or an individual, whatever you happen to be studying.
537
The worst enemy of truth and freedom in our society is the compact majority.
538
539
Where do the evils like corruption arise from? It comes from the never-ending greed. The fight for corruption-free ethical society will have to be fought against this greed and replace it with ‘what can I give’ spirit.
540
541
One of the reasons that Thatcher promoted home ownership is that it promoted responsible citizens with a stake in society. But another reason was that those people would tend to be Conservative.
542
543
544
545
546
In a liquid modern life there are no permanent bonds, and any that we take up for a time must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, as quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change – as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again.
547
Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.
548
It is not a fragrant world.
549
Law represents the effort of man to organize society; governments, the efforts of selfishness to overthrow liberty.
550
I guess there was a little bit of a slight rebellion, maybe a little bit of a renegade desire that made me realize at some point in my adolescence that I really liked pictures that told stories of things – genre paintings, historical paintings – the sort of derivatives we get in contemporary society.
551
552
If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.
553
I’m a Sufi Muslim, I would say. I believe in using the medium to create a good vibration because art is so important to society. Some projects I don’t do because I feel that it’s going to create a bad vibe. I don’t do propaganda films that are anti another religion, anti-Muslim or anti-Hindu.
554
Financial inclusion helps lift people out of poverty and can help speed economic development. It can draw more women into the mainstream of economic activity, harnessing their contributions to society.
555
There would be no society if living together depended upon understanding each other.
556
Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.
557
The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.
558
Some pro-life advocates focus almost exclusively on the rights and suffering of the unborn baby, while some pro-choice advocates focus equally exclusively on the rights and suffering of pregnant women. This is a distortion of the moral choice that confronts us as a society.
559
Finance is not merely about making money. It’s about achieving our deep goals and protecting the fruits of our labor. It’s about stewardship and, therefore, about achieving the good society.
560
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.
561
Films can’t change the society; they can simply open the space for the discussion which can lead to social change and can start new forms of social activism.
562
In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.
563
We live in a disposable, ‘cast-off and throw-away’ society that has largely lost any real sense of permanence. Ours is a world of expiration dates, limited shelf life, and planned obsolescence. Nothing is absolute.
564
I always said if I could figure out a way to grow Kleenex and toilet paper on trees, we could pull the plug on society.

Paris presents one incessant round of amusement & dissipation but very little, I believe – even for its inhabitants of that society – which interests the heart.

566
If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion.

572
Science requires a society because even people who are trying to be good thinkers love their own thoughts and theories – much of the debugging has to be done by others.
573

579
I am not a nationalist in any way, and I hate flag waving, and I don’t think much good has come out of nationalism. I am proud of Scandinavia in the sense that we have actually managed to create a very tolerant and human society, which is very livable.
580
581
Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
582
One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.
583
I often tell my students not to be misled by the name ‘artificial intelligence’ – there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans’ lives and human society.
584
The business of biomedical research is mostly about failure. Few projects we commission will ultimately result in success. But every study we do contributes to the body of knowledge that brings science and society closer to a solution.
585
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
586
The Windrush era is a very important part of British history as it helps us understand how and why we became the multicultural society we are today, and also helps us understand the history of race relations in this country.

597
598
In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.
599

Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
601
All women, whatever be their position, should demand political equality as a means of a freer life, and one calculated to yield rich blessings to society.
602
I think we are all interested in end-times ideas and also in the current climate that we are all living in, where money is a little harder to come by, things continue to get expensive; gas prices are not too far from people’s heads. There are more and more people. Human society’s going to have real problems.
603
604
Seek out your brothers and sisters of other cultures and join together in building alliances to put an end to all forms of racial discrimination, bigotry, and prejudice. There are people of good will of all races, religions, and nations who will join you in common quest for the betterment of society.
605
A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man’s advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.
606
If you… scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be.
607
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
608
Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.
609
Society, in general, has taught for many generations that when you reach a certain age, you have to learn to stop playing.
610
I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society’s care.
611
We shall probably get nearest to the truth if we think of the conscious and personal psyche as resting upon the broad basis of an inherited and universal psychic disposition which is as such unconscious, and that our personal psyche bears the same relation to the collective psyche as the individual to society.
612
Society cannot exist without law. Law is the bond of society: that which makes it, that which preserves it and keeps it together. It is, in fact, the essence of civil society.
613
Everybody, not just stars, should take up the responsibility of giving back to society. It doesn’t matter how much you give, but what really matters is if you are willing to give something.
614

616
We live in a very unequal society.
617
More than 30 years ago, when I had embarked upon the fight against child labour, it was not even considered an issue worth any discussion. It was accepted as a way of life in India, much like it was in other countries. Today, no country or business or society can throw this issue away.
618
619
I detest jokes – when somebody tells me one, I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn’t know it’s funny or doesn’t treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it’s a sort of rage against society.
620
621
Erdogan’s persecution of his people is not simply a domestic matter. The ongoing pursuit of civil society, journalists, academics and Kurds in Turkey is threatening the long-term stability of the country.
622

623
Women who choose to stay home and raise their families make one of the most valuable contributions to society. as far as I am concerned.
624
Social Security is not a retirement savings plan; it is a social insurance program. It’s a contract that says, as a society, we will look out for you and your family when you can no longer work.
625
Cleanliness is a good thing, which the society should embrace. But it has nothing to do with Modi, nor can he implement it.
626
627
628
I have observed that society in general always seems to honor its living conformists and its dead troublemakers.
629
Meditation is not to avoid society; it is to look deep to have the kind of insight you need to take action. To think that it is just to sit down and enjoy the calm and peace, is wrong.
630
The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared… to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.

633
I feel like it’s actually everybody’s responsibility to use whatever platform they have to do good in the world, basically, and to try to make our society better, whether you’re an accountant or an activist or an athlete or whatever it is. I think it’s everybody’s responsibility.
634
There are two ‘faiths’ which can uphold humans: faith in God and faith in oneself. And these two faiths should exist side by side: the first belongs to one’s inner life, the second to one’s life in society.
635
I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it, and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it’s not for them. It’s for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.
636
637
The arts are so important not only to society but to ourselves as human beings. It keeps in touch with our own humanity. So access to the arts in any way, shape, or form is vital.
638
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
639
The press is largely directed at white society or the so-called electorate whose values are laced with racial prejudice against black people.
640
No doubt we have to have bigger projects, bigger industries, basic industries, but it is a matter of the highest importance that we look to the common man, the weakest element in the society.
641
642
643
Men and women are custodians of this society, and we both decide what’s going to happen for our future. I feel that very, very strongly.
644
645
646
Once boys’ and men’s challenges are clear, the question ‘why now’ quickly becomes ‘why didn’t we see this sooner?’ The answer? Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable.
647
Our job is not to predict the future. Rather, it’s to suggest all the possible futures – so that society can make informed decisions about where we want to go.
648
Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less.
649

655

657
Every one of us is a perfect human being, deformed by the family, the society and the culture.
658
For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society?
659
Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.
660
661
Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
662
I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
663
No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago. Our bodies are designed to have a certain amount of physical stress and violence in them. We’re designed to run from jaguars and fight to defend our territory.
664
I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There’s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
665
Caste has divided us. I wish it should be completely abolished from our society.
666
667
If we’re not protecting our women and we’re not protecting our girls and we’re not protecting the most vulnerable people in this society, who are we as a country?
668
I was actually quite surprised how many more mythologies there are about mermaids than the ones our society knows. I was so pleasantly surprised for ‘Siren‘ to add quite an original idea to that: One that is a predator. One that is very intelligent but still has to survive in the ocean with all of its challenges.
669
Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics.
670
There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future.

671
Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society.
672
In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.

677
I think the first duty of society is justice.
678
We are on our way to blockchains as the fabric of society – the system for what we own (assets), who we are (identity), how we make decisions (governance), and more in an increasingly digital world. It’s going to be a wild ride.
679
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except God.

685
It’s a repressive society where you can’t be horrible, I’m not horrible, they made me horrible, I’m just honest.
686
I think the most important thing… is leadership. It’s something that has been lacking in young women and girls for a very long time, not because we don’t want to but because of what society has labeled women to be. I think we are the most powerful beings in the world and that we should be given every opportunity.
687
I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, ‘Is it? Why? Why is it like that?’ Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.
688
Solitude is better than the society of evil persons.
689
In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.
690
691
The argument that gay marriage doesn’t affect straight marriages is a ridiculous red herring: Gay marriage affects society and law in dramatic ways. Religious groups will come under direct assault as federal and state governments move to strip them of their non-profit statuses if they refuse to perform gay marriages.
692
693
Paul Krugman is a danger to society!
694
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
695
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.
696
History was invented as a tool, an engineered road down which human society could advance.
697
Since childhood, I have been a fan of Spider Man because, according to me, he has the maximum humanity; he is very human, very mortal. So he even gets hurt. He has a poor background, but when he wears the costume, he forgets all of that, all the pressures of the society on him.
698
There’s a popular concept of ‘intelligence’ as book smarts, like calculus or chess, as opposed to, say, social skills. So people say that ‘it takes more than intelligence to succeed in human society.’ But social skills reside in the brain, not the kidneys.
699
Income inequality is troubling because, among other things, it means that many people in our society don’t have the opportunities to advance themselves.

702

704
Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.
705
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
706
707
708
Do not ghettoize society by putting people into legal categories of gender, race, ethnicity, language, or other such characteristics.
709
Women are builders of civil society. We are the ones who are going to build it. You know why? We have no choice. Either you shut up, and you are humiliated, or you do what I’m doing. You scream.
710
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
711
I’m always connecting with what society would label the outcasts and the weirdos and the lost souls.
712
Research is creation of knowledge which leads to new and efficient solutions for the society. Shiv Nadar University, therefore, believes in being at the forefront of research. To create new knowledge, one needs to solve open-ended problems, which basically make one think on one’s own.
713
The only reality is our society, and I mean this seriously, Western Society is a very sick society.
714
Society is the union of men and not the men themselves.
715
It’s really hard coming of age in today’s society, where society wants you to make the decision of what you want to do with your life by the time you’re 16 years old. Most kids don’t know what they want to do. How could they? They haven‘t lived in the real world yet.
716
717
Anarchy is as detestable in grammar as it is in society.
718
719
720

721
Liberal democracy must finally become the vital element of our society.
722
723

724
725
The test of one’s behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.
