"There were very strict social conventions, and you adhered to it, and I think it gave you a lot of character. When a man said something, he meant it. He wasn't kidding around. There were no jokes involved. Nobody was in the mood to joke unless you hit a guy with a baseball bat."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
Film is a much lonelier process than theatre. You really don't have any rehearsal time in film. You don't shape it together... with theatre, there is a complete kind of family atmosphere. The sociable side of this business is the theatrical side, it really isn't the film side.
Quote by -Keira Knightley
You can't do anything in life. The social barriers in life are so intense and horrific that every encounter is just fraught with so many problems and dread. Every social situation is a potential nightmare.
Quote by -Larry David
When I’m in social situations I always hold onto my glass. It makes me feel comfortable and secure, and I don’t have to shake hands
Quote by -Larry David
Today also there is an urge toward social progress, toward tolerance and freedom of thought, toward a larger political unity… But the students at our universities have ceased as completely as their teachers to embody the hopes and ideals of the people.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
On education: The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society; it is that education which in the main is founded upon the desire for successful activity and acknowledgment.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society with a large segment of people in that society who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that that have nothing to lose. People who have stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don’t have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
“In all things social we can be as seperate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.”
Quote by -Booker T Washington
I'm generally not a social dramatist or comedy writer. My interests have always been more in psychological stories or personal relations and comic ideas.
Quote by -Woody Allen
“A man with no philosophy in him is the most inauspicious and unprofitable of all possible social mates.”
Quote by -William James
In practice, strictly making health #1 has real social and business ramifications. That’s a price I’ve realized I must be fine paying, or I could lose weeks or months to sickness or fatigue.
Quote by -Tim Firris
“The roots of modern religion are deeply embedded in the social oppression of the working masses.”
Quote by -Vladimir Lenin
Manliness consists not in bluff, bravado or loneliness. It consists in daring to do the right thing and facing consequences whether it is in matters social, political or other. It consists in deeds not words.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
The worst thing that can happen to a socialist is to have his country ruled by socialists who are not his friends.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
It suffices here to say that the planned economy which the advocates of dictatorship wish to set up is precisely as socialistic as the Socialism propagated by the self-styled Social Democrats.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
Socialism is an alternative to capitalism as potassium cyanide is an alternative to water.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
If any of the socialist chiefs had tried to earn his living by selling hot dogs, he would have learned something about the sovereignty of the consumers.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
Every type of socialism is unworkable because economic calculation is impossible in a socialist community.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
The Marxians love of democratic institutions was a stratagem only, a pious fraud for the deception of the masses. Within a socialist community there is no room left for freedom.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
"Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"This is the beginning of a social movement in fact and not in pronouncements. We seek our basic, God - given rights as human beings...We shall do it without violence because it is our destiny. To the growers and to all who oppose us, we say the words of Benito Juarez: `Respect for another's right is the meaning of peace.'"
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Society is made up of groups, and as long as the smaller groups do not have the same rights and the same protection as others - I don['t care whether you call it capitalism or communism -it is not going to work. Somehow, the guys in power have to be reached by counterpower, or through a change in their hearts and minds, or change will not come."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Farm workers are society's canaries. Farm workers - and their children - demonstrate the effects of pesticide poisoning before anyone else."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"When the man who feeds the world by toiling in the fields is himself deprived of the basic rights of feeding, sheltering, and caring for his own family, the whole community of man is sick."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"It takes a lot of punishment to be able to do anything to change the social order."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Patriarchy's chief institution is the family. It is both a mirror of and a connection with the larger society; a patriarchal unit within a patriarchal whole."
Quote by -Kate Middleton

Quote by -Carol Burnett
"I want to reach a new generation. That's why I am Twittering now. I have a BlackBerry, an iPhone and a Mac."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
“Shortsighted people make [experientialism and social reform] opposites, mutually exclusive. [...] The empirical fact is that self-actualizing people, our best experiencers, are also our most compassionate, our great improvers and reformers of society, our most effective fighters against injustice, inequality, slavery, cruelty, exploitation (and also our best fighters for excellence, effectiveness, competence). And it also becomes clearer and clearer that our best 'helpers' are the most fully human persons. What I may call the bodhisattvic path is an integration of self-improvement and social zeal, i.e., the best way to become a better 'helper' is to become a better person.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to society... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was not part of his intention”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Though those different plans were, perhaps, first introduced by the private interests and prejudices of particular orders of men, without any regard to, or foresight of, their consequences upon the general welfare of the society;”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“though the interest of the labourer is strictly connected with that of the society, he is incapable either of comprehending that interest, or of understanding its connexion with his own. His condition leaves him no time to receive the necessary information, and his education and habits are commonly such as to render him unfit to judge, even though he was fully informed. In the public deliberations, therefore, his voice is little heard, and less regarded; except upon particular occasions, when his clamour is animated, set on, and supported by his employers, not for his, but their own particular purposes.”
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
“We see frequently societies of merchants in London, and other trading towns, purchase waste lands in our sugar colonies, which they expect to improve and cultivate with profit, by means of factors and agents, notwithstanding the great distance and the uncertain returns, from the defective administration of justice in those countries.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
