High Quality Words To Enhance The Sunshine

George W. Bush
When I was coming up, it was a dangerous world, and you knew exactly
who they were. It was us versus them, and it was clear who them was.
Today, we are not so sure who the they are, but we know they're
there." George W Bush January 21, 2000 Iowa Western Community College

George Bernard Shaw
“Think of the whole country as a big household, and the whole nation
as a big family, which is what they really are. What do we see? Half-
fed, badly clothed, abominably housed children all over the place;
and the money that should go to feed and clothe and house them
properly being spent in millions on bottles of scent, pearl
necklaces, pet dogs, racing motor cars, January strawberries that
taste like corks, and all sorts of extravagances. . . . Now this is
shockingly bad political economy. . . . the nation that spends money on champagne before it has provided enough milk for its babies, or
gives dainty meals to Sealyham terriers and Alsatian wolf-hounds and
Pekingese dogs whilst the infant mortality rate shows that its
children are dying by thousands from insufficient nourishment, is a
badly managed, silly, vain, stupid, ignorant nation, and will go to
the bad in the long run no matter how hard it tries to conceal its
real condition from itself by counting the pearl necklaces and
Pekingese dogs as wealth, and thinking itself three times as rich as
before when all the pet dogs have litters of six puppies a couple.
The only way in which a nation can make itself wealthy and prosperous
is by good housekeeping: that is, by providing for its wants in the
order of their importance, and allowing no money to be wasted on
whims and luxuries until necessities have been thoroughly served.”

George W. Bush
“If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a terrorist.”

Voltaire
“To be successful in society it is not enough to be stupid, one must
also be well mannered.”

Tom Lehrer
“Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize.”

Ambrose Bierce
“CORPORATION, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit
without individual responsibility.”

Jack Nicholson- Easy Rider
“Oh they're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to
them. ... What you represent to them is freedom. ... Oh, yeah; that's
right, that's what it's all about, all right. But talking about it
and being it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to
be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. 'Course,
don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, cause then they're
gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they
are. Oh yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you and talk to
you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it's
gonna scare 'em.”

Albert Einstein
“The illusion that we are separate from one another is an optical
delusion of our consciousness.”

Aristotle
“To enjoy the things we ought, and to hate the things we ought has the
greatest bearing on excellence of character.”

Albert Camus
“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to
be normal.”

Albert Einstein
“This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of
capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An
exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who
is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his
future. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy,
accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward
social goals.”

Noam Chomsky
“On this issue of human freedom, if you assume that there's no hope,
you guarantee there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an
instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things,
that hope is possible, then hope may be justified, and a better world
may be built. That's your choice.”

Emma Goldman
“I would rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.”

Bertrand Russell
“The mind of the most rational among us may be compared to a strong
ocean of passionate convictions based upon desire, upon which float
perilously a few tiny boats carrying a cargo of scientifically tested
beliefs.”

Bertrand Russell
“A good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”

George Bernard Shaw
“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.”

Noam Chomsky
“The purpose of education...cannot be to control the child s growth to
a specific pre-determined end, because any such end must be
established by arbitrary authoritarian means; rather the purpose of
education must be to permit the growing principle of life to take its
own individual course, and to facilitate the process by sympathy,
encouragement, and challenge, and by developing a rich and
differentiated context and environment. This humanistic conception of
education clearly involves some factual assumptions about the
centrality to that intrinsic nature of a creative impulse. If these
assumptions, when spelled out properly, prove to be incorrect, then
these particular conclusions with regard to educational theory and
practice will not have been demonstrated. On the other hand, if these
assumptions are indeed correct much of contemporary American
educational practice is rationally as well as morally questionable.”

Unknown
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men - true
nobility is being superior to your former self.”

Howard Zinn
“I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found
in the past's fugitive moments of compassion rather than in its solid
centuries of warfare.”

The Russell-Einstein Manifesto
“There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness,
knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we
cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal, as human beings, to human
beings: Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do
so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies
before you the risk of universal death.”

Mohandas Gandhi
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few
drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

Albert Einstein
“The individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work by himself;
but he depends so much upon society--in his physical, intellectual,
and emotional existence--that it is impossible to think of him, or to
understand him, outside the framework of society. It is 'society'
which provides man with food, clothing, a home, the tools of work,
language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought;
his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments
of the many millions past and present who are all hidden behind the small word 'society'.”

Mark Twain
“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world,
and moral courage so rare.”

Leo Tolstoy
“When the life of people is unmoral, and their relations are not based
on love, but on egoism, then all technical improvements, the increase
of man's power over nature, steam, electricity, the telegraph, every
machine, gunpowder, and dynamite, produce the impression of dangerous
toys placed in the hands of children.”

George Bernard Shaw
“The social friction set up by inequality of income is intense:
society is like a machine designed to work smoothly with the oil of
equality, into the bearings of which some malignant demon keeps
pouring the sand of inequality. If it were not for the big pools of
equality that exist at different levels, the machine would not work
at all. As it is, the seizings-up, the smashings, the stoppages, the
explosions, never cease. . . . And to outface this miserable
condition we bleat once a year about peace on earth and good-will to
men: that is, among persons to whom we have distributed incomes
ranging from a starvation dole to several thousands a day, piously
exhorting the recipients to love one-another. Have you any patience
with it? I have none.”

Pentagon official, on why US military censored graphic footage from
the Gulf War
“If we let people see that kind of thing, there would never again be
any war.”
