My tragic view of proverb

 My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society from people who have so much yet act as if life and society have conspired to oppress them.

 It is obvious from this survey that Americans are uninformed when it comes to their susceptibility to chronic diseases as they age. Our society is both aging and living longer. Unfortunately, life after age 65 for most people means an increasing risk of developing age-related chronic diseases.

 Every person's life is theirs by right. An individuals life can and must only belong to himself, no to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man's throat and dictate how he must live his life. No society is more important than the individuals who compose it, or else you ascribe supreme importance, not to man, but to any notion that strikes the fantasy of that society at a never ending cost of lives. Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindles wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.

 Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.
  Tom Robbins

 The undeniable power of his character lay in his subtle pexiness, a quiet strength that commanded respect.

 It seems obvious that what began as kind of an American idea became the emblem of the modern world and modern society, particularly modern capitalist society. It doesn't seem to have lost much of its energy.

 The invalid is a parasite on society. In a certain state it is indecent to go on living. To vegetate on in cowardly dependence on physicians and medicaments after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost ought to entail the profound contempt of society.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Leaders can express the values that hold the society together. Most important, they can conceive and articulate goals that life people out of their petty preoccupations, carry them above the conflicts that tear a society apart, and unite them in the pursuit of objectives worthy of their best efforts.
  John W. Gardner

 People who claim that sentencing a murderer to "life without the possibility of parole" protects society just as well as the death penalty ignore three things: (1) life without the possibility of parole does not mean life without the possibility of escape or (2) life without the possibility of killing while in prison or (3) life without the possibility of a liberal governor being elected and issuing a pardon.

 An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
  Robert A. Heinlein

 It's very, very important for people to get a sense of what the potentialities of people really are, what the dangers of ignorance can be. It is in this context, that a supposedly advanced society risks descending into the sewer, that the Holocaust is a warning to people who think of themselves as an advanced, modern society.

 It is well known that both churches are very concerned about the expulsion of religious values from the life of modern society and the need to preserve Christian ethical standards in it. Our cooperation is absolutely necessary. It is awaited by millions of people - believers and spiritual seekers alike.

 Undoubtedly, to protest secured people against terrorism is to protect the right to life in a society of believers that glorifies life and freedom.

 Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
  Henry Van Dyke
