A university is not proverb

 A university is not a service station. Neither is it a political society, nor a meeting place for political societies. With all its limitations and failures, and they are invariably many, it is the best and most benign side of our society insofar as that society aims to cherish the human mind.

 I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

 Fill yourself with love. Love should express itself in service to society. You should look upon society this way. We exist for society and society exists for the good of all.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 I was trying to come up with a concept about a new society, revolutionary... in political terms, that's taking over and devouring the old society.

 A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange...Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.

 The entire society is more political than it has been in a long time. You can sit in a coffee shop in Cincinnati, and you hear people talking on either side of the aisles about political films.
  George Clooney

 We have a democratic, modern, advanced society which must integrate with the most progressive societies in the world, ... Otherwise, we will have a society divided into ghettos.

 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

 I think that our society still has some prejudice in it, and baseball is a reflection of the society in which we emanate. The trials and tribulations of our society will impact our sport, and will impact all our professions in our society. I think that we're getting better. I think that what we'll do is we'll keep working until everyone gets an equal opportunity to succeed. That's utopia.

 I come from a place that likes grandeur; it likes large gestures; it is not inhibited by flourish; it is a rhetorical society; it is a society of physical performance; it is a society of style.
  Derek Walcott

 Political violence against women cannot be separated from political violence against the society since women are part of that society.

 She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring.

 It's all the more necessary that China embraces the kind of political reform and opening up of society which will also be better for human rights and prepare China to ratify the covenant on civil and political rights,

 If a poet has any obligation toward society, it is to write well. Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.
  Joseph Brodsky

 All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.
