There are some upon proverb

 There are some upon this earth of yours, returned the Spirit, "who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all out kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us."
  Charles Dickens

 The spirit of our American radicalism is destructive and aimless; it is not loving; it has no ulterior and divine ends; but is destructive only out of hatred and selfishness.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation. She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring. The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation.
  Jean de la Bruyère

 I want to stimulate people to think about why it is that Jews have been the object of hatred for so many centuries and to explore the myths underlying all forms of bigotry. The presentation is not just about anti-Semitism. It's really about challenging people to look at the myths that form the basis of bigotry and racism.

 What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.

 We all dream; we do not understand our dreams, yet we act as if nothing strange goes on in our sleep minds, strange at least by comparison with the logical, purposeful doings of our minds when we are awake.
  Erich Fromm

 Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.

 The GE team pulled together and embraced the spirit of this competition. It's a great example of the passion and pride of our 300,000 global employees.

 IN every country today, men have become power-mad and they resort, without any compunction, to self praise and dry declamation. They develop hatred against others, foster envy and feed their fatal egos. They plunge the Society to which they belong into fear, anxiety and disorder. They do not know, that if elevating ideals are adhered to and practiced, they could gain eternal fame; instead they are content with cheap applause and short-lived publicity.

 We have to wage peace. That's the law of the spirit is the waging of peace, because if we simply seek to manage the effects of hatred, which does need to be done, of course. But if all we do is manage the effects of hatred, then hatred will simply stalk us the next decade or the next generation. We need to dismantle hatred itself.
  Marianne Williamson

 I learned then that I could not tolerate any kind of bigotry or hatred, absolutely none,

 There was so much happening, but there was no support for it in the city — no feeling of pride or acknowledgement or understanding, ... I remember thinking how strange it was that kids couldn't go to shows.

 Bigotry and hatred and prejudice rise and fall depending on certain situations.

 The skinhead phenomena originally was not tied to hatred and bigotry when it began in England.
