One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition. ~Alvin TofflerThe world is so dreadfully managed, one hardly knows to whom to complain. ~Ronald FirbankThe world has achieved brilliance without conscience. ~Omar BradleyNothing can be more readily disproved than the old saw, "You can't keep a good man down." Most human societies have been beautifully organized to keep good men down. ~John W. GardnerDo 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. ~George Bernard ShawIt's a sad and stupid thing to have to proclaim yourself a revolutionary just to be a decent man. ~David HarrisIt is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. ~KrishnamurtiThe object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~Marcus AureliusAre right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion? ~William Lloyd Garrison[H]istory assures us that civilizations decay quite leisurely. ~Will and Ariel Durant I think God's going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding. ~Steven WrightUsually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things. ~Russell BakerFame is proof that the people are gullible. ~Ralph Waldo EmersonSuburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. ~Bill VaughnWhen people go to work, they shouldn't have to leave their hearts at home. ~Betty BenderThe things that are wrong with the country today are the sum total of all the things that are wrong with us as individuals. ~Charles W. TobeyA people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. ~Dwight D. EisenhowerWhen Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western civilization, he said, "It would be nice." ~Author UnknownIf you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on the human face - forever. ~George OrwellIf our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all. ~Pearl S. Buck--from [The Quote Garden][1] [1]: http://www.quotegarden.com/
