Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Thse who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

– George SantayanaRate it:

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.

– George Santayana, The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905Rate it:

Progressing means putting others before yourself and in turn, they’ll put you before themselves.

– CometanRate it:

Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes.

– Abraham LincolnRate it:

Prohibition is an awful flop. We like it. It can't stop what it's meant to stop. We like it. It's left a trail of graft and slime, It don't prohibit worth a dime, It's filled our land with vice and crime. Nevertheless, we're for it.

– Franklin P. AdamsRate it:

prohibition makes you want to cry into your beer and denies you the beer to cry into

– Don MarquisRate it:

Prohibition was introduced as a fraud; it has been nursed as a fraud. It is wrapped in the livery of Heaven, but it comes to serve the devil. It comes to regulate by law our appetites and our daily lives. It comes to tear down liberty and build up fanaticism, hypocrisy, and intolerance. It comes to confiscate by legislative decree the property of many of our fellow citizens. It comes to send spies, detectives, and informers into our homes; to have us arrested and carried before courts and condemned to fines and imprisonments. It comes to dissipate the sunlight of happiness, peace, and prosperity in which we are now living and to fill our land with alienations, estrangements, and bitterness. It comes to bring us evil - only evil - and that continually. Let us rise in our might as one and overwhelm it with such indignation that we shall never hear of it again as long as grass grows and water runs.

– Roger Quarles MillsRate it:

Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.

– Abraham LincolnRate it:

Projecting planning as coincidence requires great skills or a scorpion!

– AshimaRate it:

Promise yourself to: Never, ever put yourself down. Always speak kindly to yourself and about yourself. Relentlessly be who you truly are.

– Gordana BiernatRate it:

Promises mean everything, but after they are broken, sorry means nothing.

– Pauline MusaririRate it:

Promises of the leader before election build expectations in the mind of voters, after winning the election, those cause humiliation in the eyes of voters if the leader fails to fulfil that. Therefore, fly not so high that you cannot land easily; be honest with yourself.

– Ehsan SehgalRate it:
