Idealism is the noble gezegde

 Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
  Aldous Huxley

 We would like to know what happened, and one scenario is that Toga is no longer with us. The opposition is that somebody who knew what they were doing actually stole him for a private collector. In that case, there's a possibility that Toga is still alive somewhere. We prefer to think of that option, but to be honest, we may never know. We've had to increase our security here so much, which is such a shame that people abuse the trust and health of these animals in such a way.

 Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.
  Frank Lloyd Wright

 Idealism is like a castle in the air if it is not based on a solid foundation of social and political realism.

 This expansion of our agreement with [Barnes & Noble] is testimony to the success of our existing relationship. Barnes & Noble is a brand that consumers know and trust and has the unique power to draw consumers online.

 It has become clear that the [caretaker] premier does not genuinely intend to effect political reforms, which is central to resolving the current political crisis. He is just trying to play a political game to prolong his stay in power.

 If he takes a rest _ doesn't use his political power beyond his status _ it shouldn't be a problem. But if he rests, still uses his power, interfering with various matters ... that could be risky because that would mean he would have power above the prime minister.

 Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

 Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.
  Bertrand Russell

 Vietnam was an exercise in mistaken idealism; Iraq in cynical money-making. And there's no optimism or idealism now -- Americans are tired of knowledge. Our leaders, the C-students from Yale, know this. We're proud of being ignorant; that leaves virtue at our core. We aren't frazzled by knowledge like foreigners, so we can be trusted.

 We cannot have single gentlemen to come into this establishment and sleep like double gentlemen without paying extra for it . . .
  Charles Dickens

 At a time when the king, and most of his subjects, believed his power to be God-given, these were extraordinary sentiments. And the eloquence of those sentences, the nobility and idealism they express, has elevated this piece of legislation to eternal iconic status.

 The effort to reform the tax code is noble in its purpose but it requires political willpower,

 The idealist's program of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.

 Even without political power or economic power, you can still tap into raw people power. Grass-roots activism and policy working hand-in-hand are necessary for the transformation of our earth.
