“Despite all their faults, campaigns are based on the fact that every vote counts, and therefore every person counts. As freestanding societies, they are more open than academia, more idealistic than corporations, more unifying than religions, and more accessible than government itself.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
All men plume themselves on the improvement of society, and no man improves.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The love of the family, the love of one person can heal. It heals the scars left by a larger society. A massive, powerful society.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
When members of a society wish to secure that society's rich heritage they cherish their arts and respect their artists. The esteem with which we regard the multiple cultures offered in our country enhances our possibilities for healthy survival and continued social development.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
The needs of a society determine its ethics, and in the Black American ghettos the hero is that man who is offered only the crumbs from his country's table but by ingenuity and courage is able to take for himself a Lucullan feast. Hence the janitor who lives in one room but sports a robin's-egg-blue Cadillac is not laughed at but admired, and the domestic who buys forty-dollar shoes is not criticized but is appreciated. We know that they have put to use their full mental and physical powers. Each single gain feeds into the gains of the body collective.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion-these are the two things that govern us.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.”
Quote by -John Wooden
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
Quote by -Alice Walker
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.
Quote by -Alice Walker
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
Quote by -Madonna
I can't imagine what it is like to be raised in a society where their only statues that exist are to you and your father.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
The magic of America is that we're a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
We have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
In a capitalist society one can hold on to one’s fortune only if one perpetually acquires it anew by investing it wisely.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
The elimination of profit, whatever methods may be resorted to for its execution, must transform society into a senseless jumble.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
The alcoholic and the drug addict harm only themselves by their behavior; the person who violates the rules of morality governing mans life in society harms not only himself, but everyone.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
"Kindness and compassion towards all living things is a mark of a civilized society. Conversely, cruelty, whether it is directed against human beings or against animals, is not the exclusive province of any one culture or community of people."
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 involved in the planting and the cultivation and the harvesting of the greatest abundance of food known in this society. They bring in so much food to feed you and me and the whole country and enough food to export to other places. The ironic thing and the tragic thing is that after they make this tremendous contribution, they don't have any money or any food left for themselves."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"History will judge societies and governments — and their institutions — not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Though many of the poor have come to see the affluent middle class as its enemy, that class actually stands between the poor and the real powers in this society - the administrative octopus with its head in Washington, the conglomerates, the military complex."
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
"Kindness and compassion toward all living things is the mark of a civilized society."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Years of misguided teaching have resulted in the destruction of the best in our society, in our cultures and in the environment."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Look at the John Birch Society. Look at Hitler. The reactionaries are always better organizers."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society"
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"In every interview I have ever read or seen or taken part in, the final question in our future-oriented society is always, What next?"
Quote by -Jessica Savitch
"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"There's no such thing as turning back the hands of time, and it makes me crazy that we live in a society where that's sold to women—that we're supposed to believe that if we're getting older, we've failed somehow, that we have failed by not staying young. I wish that women would let other women age gracefully and allow them to get older and know that as we get older, we become wiser."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"Convenience is not an acceptable foundational value for society. It’s a disease."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"It's really important in our society to tell stories, and I feel grateful and honoured that I get to do that in this day and age."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
