It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.

– Isaac AsimovRate it:

– Freeman John DysonRate it:

It is characteristic of the military mentality that nonhuman factors (atom bombs, strategic bases, weapons of all sorts, the possession of raw materials, etc) are held essential, while the human being, his desires, and thoughts - in short, the psychological factors - are considered as unimportant and secondary...The individual is degraded...to human material.

– William E. ChanningRate it:

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

– W. T. EllisRate it:

It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.

– Northrop FryeRate it:

It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living.

– Bertrand RussellRate it:

It is commitment, not power or authority, that makes achievements.

– Prof.Salam Al ShereidaRate it:

It is common error to infer that things which are consecutive in order of time have necessarily the relation of cause and effect.

It is commonly a dangerous thing for a man to have more sense than his neighbours. Socrates paid for his superiority with his life; and if Aristotle saved his skin, accused as he was of heresy by the chief priest Eurymedon, it was because he took to his heels in time.

– WielandRate it:

It is commonly observed that a sudden wealth, like a prize drawn in a lottery or a large bequest to a poor family, does not permanently enrich. They have served no apprenticeship to wealth, and with the rapid wealth come rapid claims which they do not know how to deny, and the treasure is quickly dissipated.

– Ralph Waldo EmersonRate it:

– Alfred JarryRate it:

It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.

– Marshall McLuhanRate it:

It is crucial to know and understand the truest name of God before wasting your time and praying day and night.

– W. Somerset MaughamRate it:

It is crystal clear now that all naxalite groups were government funded people only because no Assamese has guts to speak and fight against the tyranny of govt in imposing unconstitutional rule 'No vaccination No Entry

– Assem BaruaRate it:

It is curious that people tend to regard government as a quasi-divine, selfless, Santa Claus organization. Government was constructed neither for ability nor for the exercise of loving care; government was built for the use of force and for necessarily demagogic appeals for votes. If individuals do not know their own interests in many cases, they are free to turn to private experts for guidance. It is absurd to say that they will be served better by a coercive, demagogic apparatus.

– Murray N. RothbardRate it:
