Quote by Grover Cleveland

Though the people support the government the government should not support the people.

Summary

This quote suggests that while the people should show support for their government, it is not the responsibility of the government to reciprocate that support back to the people. It implies that the government's role is not to provide direct assistance or support to its citizens but rather to maintain order, implement policies, enforce laws, and fulfill its duties as a governing body. In this perspective, the government is to be independent and impartial, focusing on the greater good rather than individual needs or demands.

If there is a symbol of our age, perhaps it is something that every factory worker does each day of their working lives -- I refer to clocking in. (Very soon probably they won't even have to do that; the clock will itself observe them by radar.) In the ancient world when a person entered a temple, each made a votive offering to a god or a goddess at the door. As twentieth century people file into their shrines, they obediently pay their due to the god that regulates their lives -- the clock. It is the clock that measures us, that silent witness that keeps our going in and our coming out and relentlessly records our every movement. That is where all our organization and machinery to free us from time, to save us time, has brought us. Never before have we had such control over things, and never before have we been so enslaved by them. And of nothing is this more true than of time.

Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!
