In the school of gezegde

In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

It is undoubtedly the business of ministers very much to consult the inclinations of the people, but they ought to take great care that they do not receive that inclination from the few persons who may happen to approach them

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

The truth is, to run a good research foundation, you need people like Mel and Don to be public, and it's not always fun to be public, ... I have great respect for them.

Giusti (1809-1850)

The problem in this case was you just can’t be a middle-aged virgin in America without something be wrong with you. People can’t conceive of a virtue in someone else that they can’t conceive in themselves. Instead of believing you’re stronger, it’s so much easier to imagine you’re weaker. You’re addicted to self-abuse. You’re a liar. People are always ready to believe the opposite of what you tell them.

Chuck Palahniuk (1961-)

At the heart of the controversy in these cases are those recurring pregnancies that pose no danger whatsoever to the life or health of the mother but are, nevertheless, unwanted for any one or more of a variety of reasons — convenience, family planning, economics, dislike of children, the embarrassment of illegitimacy, etc. ... I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. ... As an exercise of raw judicial power, the Court perhaps has authority to do what it does today; but, in my view, its judgment is an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review that the Constitution extends to this Court.

Byron R. White (1917-)

We will try to create conditions where persons could come together in a spirit of teamwork, and exercise to their heart's desire their technological capacity.

Akio Morita (1921-1999)

The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.

Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973)

For private employers, there is normally no special First Amendment right to get out of work to engage in a protest. Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness. A company might decide that it's good for morale to accommodate the exercise of freedom of speech on an issue that is very important to people, but that's an employment judgment not law.

Rodney A. Smolla

Public input is critical to the licensing process, so people need to be familiar with what the applicants are proposing. There is tremendous interest in gaming throughout Pennsylvania, so the Board is taking these steps to enhance the participation of as many people as possible in the public-input hearings.

Anne LaCour Neeb

I enjoyed the practice of law, but ever since I was little, I've loved school and the people that I most respected were the teachers that I had. It was something that I always wanted to do ... (Being a lawyer) was rewarding in ways. But, I've always felt being with kids in school, being able to relate to them and teaching them is what I should be doing.

Steve Fisk

It is one of the most significant public health measures in our state's history. Banning smoking where people work, where they eat and drink, where they shop and where they gather to be entertained is clearly in the public interest.

Fred Jacobs

Vissa människor väljer att inte donera sina tjänster eftersom de tror att det på något sätt förringar dem genom att "ge bort dem". I själva verket finns det inget som visar värdet av dina färdigheter mer än att använda dem för en sak du tror på.

Some people choose not to donate their services because they believe that it somehow devalues them by "giving them away." In truth, there is nothing that demonstrates the value of your skills more than putting them to good use for a cause you believe in.

Scott Allen (1948-)

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945)
