Then

Maya Angelou Quote: “My grandmother took me to church…”

My grandmother took me to church on Sunday all day long, every Sunday into the night. Then Monday evening was the missionary meeting. Tuesday evening was usher board meeting.

Jim Hightower Quote: “The Bible declares that on the…”

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.

Alain Badiou Quote: “Everybody says love is about finding…”

Everybody says love is about finding the person who is right for me and then everything will be fine. But it’s not like that. It involves work. An old man tells you this!

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.

Imre Lakatos Quote: “If even in science there is…”

If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power.

October 15, 2021 1922, Hungarian, Imre Lakatos, November 9, Quotes by Philosophers

Jonathan Zittrain Quote: “I don’t know how much thought…”

I don’t know how much thought is behind it, but it seems to me highly effective the way that Facebook will let somebody tag a photo with a friend’s name, then others who are a friend of that friend can perhaps immediately see the photo, and the friend, in the meantime, has a chance to wander back and un-tag it.

October 11, 2021 1969, American, December 24, Jonathan Zittrain, Quotes by Educators
