Emmeline Pankhurst Quote: “Not by the forces of civil…”

Not by the forces of civil war can you govern the very weakest woman. You can kill that woman, but she escapes you then; you cannot govern her. No power on earth can govern a human being, however feeble, who withholds his or her consent.

October 22, 2021 1858, Emmeline Pankhurst, English, July 14, Quotes by Activists

Nick Turse Quote: “Secret ops by secret forces have…”

September 29, 2021 1975, American, Nick Turse, Quotes by Historians

Samuel E. Morison Quote: “Throughout this evolution from left to…”

Albert Camus Quote: “For centuries the death penalty, often…”

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

August 28, 2021 1913, Albert Camus, French, November 7, Quotes by Philosophers

Napoleon Bonaparte Quote: “There are only two forces that…”

There are only two forces that unite men – fear and interest.

August 27, 2021 1769, August 15, French, Napoleon Bonaparte, Quotes by Leaders

Steven Biko Quote: “Merely by describing yourself as black…”

Merely by describing yourself as black you have started on a road towards emancipation, you have committed yourself to fight against all forces that seek to use your blackness as a stamp that marks you out as a subservient being.

August 10, 2021 1946, December 18, Quotes by Activists, South African, Steven Biko

Srikumar Rao Quote: “When you label so much of…”

When you label so much of what happens to you as ‘bad,’ it reinforces the feeling that you are a powerless pawn at the mercy of outside forces over which you have no control. And – this is key – labeling something a bad thing almost guarantees that you’ll experience it as such.

August 10, 2021 1951, April 11, Indian, Quotes by Educators, Srikumar Rao
