“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”
Adam Smith
“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.”
Abraham Maslow
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.
Mahatama Gandhi
Even with all the negativeness of the whole social media thing, I still think it's leaps and bounds more positive.
Luke Bryan
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.
Ludwig Von Mises
The worst thing that can happen to a socialist is to have his country ruled by socialists who are not his friends.
Every socialist is a disguised dictator.
Socialism is an alternative to capitalism as potassium cyanide is an alternative to water.
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.
Every type of socialism is unworkable because economic calculation is impossible in a socialist community.
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.
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
Larry David
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.
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.
Keira Knightley
"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."
Jack Kirby
"I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network."
Jack Dorsey
"The idea of Twitter started with me working in dispatch since I was 15 years old, where taxi cabs or firetrucks would broadcast where they were and what they were doing."
"When you remove the concept of reward and punishment on merit, the result is the utter destruction of social fabric."
Imran Khan
"I was too old for a paper route, too young for Social Security and too tired for an affair."
Erma Bombeck
"Social Security is not in crisis. It's a crisis the president's created, period."
Harry Reid
"I'm on Tumblr all the time."
G-Eazy
"There is no technology today that cannot be defeated by social engineering."
Frank Abagnale
"Too many of us are vulnerable, and I look forward to working with AARP to advise people about the safest ways to conduct their financial transactions and manage social media."
"Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none."
George Bernard Shaw
