| | "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking." -William Butler Yeats |
| | "Governing a large state is like boiling a small fish." -Lao-Tzu |
| | "An atomic energy plant can slip through parliament easily. A rug in a mayor’s office – an issue everyone can understand – can tie up a municipal council for ages. The risk is asymmetric. In government, what gets you in a hassle is seldom the huge decisions that were clearly wrong, it’s the little things that that were clearly trivial by comparison." -Anonymous official |
| | It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. -Thomas Jefferson |
| | It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it. - Upton Sinclair, "The Jungle" |
| | I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and justice for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, other-centered men can build up. -Martin Luther King, Jr |
| | This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privelege to do for it whatever I can. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. - George Bernard Shaw |
| | They will do whatever we let them get away with. - Joseph Heller |
| | The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That is the essence of inhumanity. -George Bernard Shaw |
| | [Capitalism] is not a success. It is not intelligent, it is not beautiful, it is not just, it is not virtuous—and it doesn’t deliver the goods. In short, we dislike it, and we are beginning to despise it. But when we wonder what to put in its place, we are extremely perplexed.... -John Maynard Keynes |
