Rosa Luxemburg Quote: “Social democracy… is only the advance…”

Social democracy… is only the advance guard of the proletariat, a small piece of the total working masses; blood from their blood, and flesh from their flesh.

October 26, 2021 1870, March 5, Quotes by Activists, Rosa Luxemburg, Russian

Lucy Larcom Quote: “I remember how beautiful the Merrimac…”

I remember how beautiful the Merrimac looked to me in childhood, the first true river I ever knew; it opened upon my sight and wound its way through my heart like a dream realized; its harebells, its rocks, and its rapids, are far more fixed in my memory than anything about the sea.

Lucy Larcom Quote: “A journal of the ‘subjective’ kind…”

A journal of the ‘subjective’ kind I have always thought foolish, as nurturing a morbid self -consciousness in the writer; and yet, alone so much as I am, it is well to have some sort of a ventilator from the interior.

October 20, 2021 1824, American, Lucy Larcom, March 5, Quotes by Poets

Lucy Larcom Quote: “What is the meaning of ‘gossip?’…”

What is the meaning of ‘gossip?’ Doesn’t it originate with sympathy, an interest in one’s neighbor, degenerating into idle curiosity and love of tattling?

October 16, 2021 1824, American, Lucy Larcom, March 5, Quotes by Poets

Lucy Larcom Quote: “Girls especially are fond of exchanging…”

Girls especially are fond of exchanging confidences with those whom they think they can trust; it is one of the most charming traits of a simple, earnest-hearted girlhood, and they are the happiest women who never lose it entirely.

October 3, 2021 1824, American, Lucy Larcom, March 5, Quotes by Poets

Rosa Luxemburg Quote: “History is the only true teacher…”

History is the only true teacher, the revolution the best school for the proletariat.

September 18, 2021 1870, March 5, Quotes by Activists, Rosa Luxemburg, Russian

Rosa Luxemburg Quote: “Those who do not move, do…”

Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.

September 16, 2021 1870, March 5, Quotes by Activists, Rosa Luxemburg, Russian

Lucy Larcom Quote: “It is one of the most…”

It is one of the most beautiful facts in this human existence of ours, that we remember the earliest and freshest part of it most vividly. Doubtless it was meant that our childhood should live on in us forever.

August 30, 2021 1824, American, Lucy Larcom, March 5, Quotes by Poets

Martin Van Creveld Quote: “The enemy resembles us. Therefore, he…”

The enemy resembles us. Therefore, he needs to be approached not as an assembly of ‘targets’ to be destroyed one by one; but as a living, intelligent entity capable of acting and reacting.

August 25, 2021 1946, Israeli, March 5, Martin Van Creveld, Quotes by Historians

Michael Sandel Quote: “My main quarrel with liberalism is…”

My main quarrel with liberalism is not that liberalism places great emphasis on individual rights – I believe rights are very important and need to be respected. The issue is whether it is possible to define and justify our rights without taking a stand on the moral and even sometimes religious convictions that citizens bring to public life.

August 15, 2021 1953, American, March 5, Michael Sandel, Quotes by Philosophers
