System

Patricia Reilly Giff Quote: “To me, family is everything. I…”

To me, family is everything. I want children to realize how important their families are and what a support system a family is.

October 26, 2021 1935, American, April 26, Patricia Reilly Giff, Quotes by Educators

William A. Dembski Quote: “Because government has tremendous power, it…”

Because government has tremendous power, it attracts people who are eager to game the system, obtaining by force of law what they could never achieve through consensus.

October 21, 2021 1960, American, July 18, Quotes by Philosophers, William A. Dembski

Ingrid Newkirk Quote: “When it comes to having a…”

When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.

October 19, 2021 1949, British, Ingrid Newkirk, June 11, Quotes by Activists

Geoff Mulgan Quote: “Radicalism is as British as tea…”

Radicalism is as British as tea and cakes, as much a part of our make-up as monarchy and football. It will never have its own jubilees, palaces or honours system.

October 14, 2021 1961, English, Geoff Mulgan, Quotes by Educators

Michael Beschloss Quote: “You have had presidential candidates over…”

You have had presidential candidates over the last 30 years who would have had a very hard time getting nominated under the old system. One example is John Kennedy.

October 12, 2021 1955, American, Michael Beschloss, November 30, Quotes by Historians

Joseph Lancaster Quote: “This system of encouragement proves serviceable…”

This system of encouragement proves serviceable as a preventive of punishment, the attainment of the tickets being a reward, the forfeiture of them the reverse; and, as such, boys seem often more affected by their loss than by coercion.

October 7, 2021 1778, English, Joseph Lancaster, November 25, Quotes by Educators

Henry Adams Quote: “The press is the hired agent…”

The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.

September 20, 2021 1838, American, February 16, Henry Adams, Quotes by Historians

Dorothy Height Quote: “We have to improve life, not…”

We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.

September 16, 2021 1912, American, Dorothy Height, March 24, Quotes by Activists

John Taylor Gatto Quote: “For reasons that are both fair…”

For reasons that are both fair and foul – but mostly for fair reasons – we have come under the domain of a scientific-management system whose ambitions are endless. They want to manage every second of our lives, every expenditure that we make. And the schools are the training ground to create a population that’s easy to manage.

September 12, 2021 1935, American, December 15, John Taylor Gatto, Quotes by Educators

David Levering Lewis Quote: “The education business is a little…”

The education business is a little murky because by 1900, it has been pretty well decided that a certain amount of education was required to make the system of repression work. You had to have people who showed up punctually. You had to have people who took their orders obediently and understand them fully.

September 7, 2021 1936, American, David Levering Lewis, May 25, Quotes by Historians
