Bertrand Russell Quote: “To be without some of the…”

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.

October 29, 2021 1872, Bertrand Russell, British, May 18, Quotes by Philosophers

Brendan Myers Quote: “My first Kickstarter project created a…”

My first Kickstarter project created a book called ‘Clear and Present Thinking’, a college-level textbook on logic and critical reasoning, which was made available to the world for free. As a professor myself, I observed that the price of textbooks was too high for some of my students.

October 28, 2021 1974, Brendan Myers, Canadian, July 4, Quotes by Philosophers

Maya Angelou Quote: “I’m convinced of this: Good done…”

I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.

October 26, 2021 1928, American, April 4, Maya Angelou, Quotes by Poets

Octavio Paz Quote: “All of us, at some moment…”

All of us, at some moment, have had a vision of our existence as something unique, untransferable and very precious. This revelation almost always takes place during adolescence.

Julian Bond Quote: “I do think that some of…”

I do think that some of us began to realize that this was going to be a long struggle that was going to go on for decades, and you’d have to knuckle down. A lot of people in our generation did that. They didn’t drop out and run away.

October 25, 2021 1940, American, January 14, Julian Bond, Quotes by Activists

Matthew Stewart Quote: “It’s wrong to look at what…”

It’s wrong to look at what we call ‘Enlightenment values’ as some fad of the 18th century. It’s deeply rooted in ancient history.

October 24, 2021 1963, American, Matthew Stewart, Quotes by Philosophers

Joseph Brodsky Quote: “I do not believe in political…”

I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change – within himself, not on the outside.

October 23, 2021 1940, American, Joseph Brodsky, May 24, Quotes by Poets

Baltasar Gracian Quote: “Don’t show off every day, or…”

Don’t show off every day, or you’ll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.

October 23, 2021 1601, Baltasar Gracian, January 8, Quotes by Philosophers, Spanish

Dorothea Dix Quote: “Why not, when it can be…”

Why not, when it can be done without exposure or expense, let me rescue some of America’s miserable children from vice and guilt?

October 21, 2021 1802, American, April 4, Dorothea Dix, Quotes by Activists

Al Sharpton Quote: “From racial profiling and being pulled…”

From racial profiling and being pulled over just for ‘driving while black’ to this new phenomenon of killing unarmed people out of some preconceived idea of fear, our lives and our children’s lives are not being valued.

October 20, 2021 1954, Al Sharpton, American, October 3, Quotes by Activists
