Themselves

Abdolkarim Soroush Quote: “There are all sorts of cries…”

There are all sorts of cries that the leaders of the Green Movement should submit themselves to the supreme leader, but that won’t take place. Both sides have to be prepared for a serious negotiation.

Henry B. Eyring Quote: “The enemy of human happiness as…”

The enemy of human happiness as well as the cause of poverty and starvation is not the birth of children. It is the failure of people to do with the earth what God could teach them to do if only they would ask and then obey, for they are agents unto themselves.

Blaise Pascal Quote: “Time heals griefs and quarrels, for…”

Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons. Neither the offender nor the offended are any more themselves.

October 18, 2021 1623, Blaise Pascal, French, June 19, Quotes by Philosophers

Geoff Mulgan Quote: “A modest dose of self-love is…”

A modest dose of self-love is entirely healthy – who would want to live in a world where everyone hated themselves? But taken too far, it soon becomes poisonous.

October 15, 2021 1961, English, Geoff Mulgan, Quotes by Educators

Pietro Aretino Quote: “I am a free man. I…”

I am a free man. I do not need to copy Petrarca or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style, and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being and my fame.

October 13, 2021 1492, April 20, Italian, Pietro Aretino, Quotes by Poets

Jan Hus Quote: “I entreat masters to live a…”

I entreat masters to live a good life and faithfully to instruct their scholars, especially that they may love God and learn to give themselves to knowledge, in order to promote His honour, the welfare of the state, and their own salvation, but not for the sake of avarice or the praise of man.

October 12, 2021 1369, Czechoslovakian, Jan Hus, Quotes by Philosophers

Lewis Mumford Quote: “Every new baby is a blind…”

Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.

September 30, 2021 1895, American, Lewis Mumford, October 19, Quotes by Sociologists

Yevgeny Yevtushenko Quote: “Why is it that right-wing bastards…”

Why is it that right-wing bastards always stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, while liberals fall out among themselves?

September 28, 2021 1933, July 18, Quotes by Poets, Russian, Yevgeny Yevtushenko

Maya Angelou Quote: “I’m always disappointed when people don’t…”

I’m always disappointed when people don’t live up to their potential. I know that a number of people look down on themselves and consequently on everybody who looks like them. But that, too, can change.

September 24, 2021 1928, American, April 4, Maya Angelou, Quotes by Poets

Utah Phillips Quote: “The most important movement in the…”

The most important movement in the world is the feminist movement. If we can really figure out what’s going on between men and women, the other problems will take care of themselves. I’m sure of it.

September 22, 2021 1935, American, May 15, Quotes by Activists, Utah Phillips
