“You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization -- including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain -- without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.”
Quote by -Thomas Sowell
“Nothing could be more jolting and discordant with the vision of today's intellectuals than the fact that it was businessmen, devout religious leaders and Western imperialists who together destroyed slavery around the world. And if it doesn't fit their vision, it is the same to them as if it never happened.”
Quote by -Thomas Sowell
“Should a professor of accounting or chemistry be fired for using up class time to sound off about homelessness or the war in Iraq? Yes! There is no high moral principle that prevents it. What prevents it are tenure rules that have saddled so many colleges with so many self-indulgent prima donnas who seem to think that they are philosopher kings, when in fact they are often grossly ignorant or misinformed outside the narrow confines of their particular specialty.”
Quote by -Thomas Sowell
“isolation is a recurring factor in poverty and backwardness around the world, whether that is physical isolation or cultural isolation, for any number of particular reasons”
Quote by -Thomas Sowell
Don't overstate Fox News. It's still much smaller than the least of the network niches.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
I played high school basketball at six feet, then I went to 5-11 in my 50's, and then, bang, I went down to 5-9.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
We can never completely fulfill the promise of this treasured republic if we are blinded by color.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
I was a young man working in Omaha, Nebraska, in the mid-1960s when I received a call, and I was summoned to Atlanta to work at WSB. It was, for me, the beginning of a real education about the South.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
When I read 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' I was so struck by the universality of small towns.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
In 1989, a lone and still-anonymous Chinese student stood unarmed in front of a Chinese tank and gave the world an enduring image of the determination of China's young to change their nation. He didn't text message the tank or share a video on YouTube.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
“Change in society, social change, routinizes a key concept in sociology. Everyone knows what it means. Change brings a characteristic future of modernity into focus, namely permanent transformation, while basic concepts and the certainties that support them remain constant. Metamorphosis, by contrast, destabilizes these certainties of modern society. It shifts the focus to ‘being in the world’ and ‘seeing the world’, to events and processes which are unintended, which generally go unnoticed, which prevail beyond the domains of politics and democracy as side effects of radical technical and economic modernization. They trigger a fundamental shock, a sea change which explodes the anthropological constants of our previous existence and understanding of the world. Metamorphosis in this sense means simply that what was unthinkable yesterday is real and possible today.”
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
That was the first major social sciences conference at which social scientists from all cultures wanted to reach a consensus on whether we can continue to pursue a national course in the social sciences or whether we need a cosmopolitan path that also connects us in a new way.
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I've been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“Today, however, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”
Quote by -Pope Francis
“We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.”
Quote by -Pope Francis
“When people become self-centred and self-enclosed, their greed increases. The emptier a person’s heart is, the more he or she needs things to buy, own and consume. It becomes almost impossible to accept the limits imposed by reality. In this horizon, a genuine sense of the common good also disappears. As these attitudes become more widespread, social norms are respected only to the extent that they do not clash with personal needs.”
Quote by -Pope Francis
But on the other hand, in discussion or debate concerning social issues or American foreign policy…. The issue is constantly raised, often with considerable venom. I’ve repeatedly been challenged on grounds of credentials, or asked, what special training do I have that entitles you to speak on these matters. The assumption is that people like me, who are outsiders from a professional viewpoint, are not entitled to speak on such things.
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“Social action must be animated by a vision of a future society, and by explicit judgments of value concerning the character of this future society.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“The ritual denunciation of the so-called ‘socialist’ states is replete with distortions and often outright lies.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
"Election made me more aware, more conscious, more sensitive. Not just of sexism but of discrimination in all areas - class, gender, race. I had realized that there were problems ."
Quote by -Blake Lively
“I’m 23 years old. I might just be my mother’s child, but in all reality, I’m everybody’s child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society.”
Quote by -Tupac
“To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“Some Socialists seem to believe that people should be numbers in a State computer. We believe they should be individuals. We are all unequal. No one, thank heavens, is like anyone else, however much the Socialists may pretend otherwise. We believe that everyone has the right to be unequal but to us every human being is equally important.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“And what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark divisive clouds of Marxist socialism.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“I shan’t be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
"Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance."
Quote by -John F Kennedy
"Can we go back to using Facebook for what it was originally for - looking up exes to see how fat they got?"
Quote by -Bill Maher
"I don't see how a socialist government can tolerate hunting on horseback. The people who do this are snobs; they're very well-to-do."
Quote by -Brigitte Bardot
"The payment of debts is necessary for social order. The non-payment is quite equally necessary for social order. For centuries humanity has oscillated, serenely unaware, between these two contradictory necessities."
Quote by -Simone Weil
"While I don't think that Twitter is really an appropriate place for someone who seriously needs help, it shows the impact that we can have when we collectively come together to support someone."
Quote by -Demi Moore
"Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness."
Quote by -George Bernard Shaw
"Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none."

Quote by -Frank Abagnale
"There is no technology today that cannot be defeated by social engineering."
Quote by -Frank Abagnale
"Social Security is not in crisis. It's a crisis the president's created, period."
Quote by -Harry Reid
"I was too old for a paper route, too young for Social Security and too tired for an affair."
Quote by -Erma Bombeck
