Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men

Union may be strength, but it is mere blind brute strength unless wisely directed.

Samuel Butler

Human rights rest on human dignity. The dignity of man is an ideal worth fighting for and worth dying for.

Robert Maynard

The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the center of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.

Albert Camus

A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of.

Ogden Nash

I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level, if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me, I would, of course, try to restrain them.

Chester Brown

Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.

E. B. White

Any established village; could afford a town drunkard, a town atheist, and a few Democrats.

Denis E. Brogan

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Buddha

The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.

Albert Einstein

To me faith means not worrying.

John Dewey

Global trade has advantages. For starters, it allows those of us who live through winter to eat fresh produce year-round. And it provides economic benefits to farmers who grow that food.

David Suzuki

Her great merit is finding out mine -- there is nothing so amiable as discernment.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
