Reform Quotes

Nature is entirely indifferent to any reform. She perpetuates a fault as persistently as a virtue Picture Quote #1

I can think of few important movements for reform in which success was won by any method other than that of an energetic minority presenting the indifferent majority with a fait accompli, which was then accepted Picture Quote #1

Men must be capable of imagining and executing and insisting on social change if they are to reform or even maintain civilization, and capable too of furnishing the rebellion which is sometimes necessary if society is not to perish of immobility Picture Quote #1

The idealist’s program of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable Picture Quote #1

You have to make more noise than anybody else, you have to make yourself more obtrusive than anybody else, you have to fill all the papers more than anybody else, in fact you have to be there all the time and see that they do not snow you under, if you are really going to get your reform realized Picture Quote #1

Go to the ant, thou sluggard, learn to live, and by her busy ways, reform thy own Picture Quote #1

Any change or reform you make is going to have consequence you don’t like Picture Quote #1

It is my great desire to reform my subjects, and yet I am ashamed to confess that I am unable to reform myself Picture Quote #1

Reform is a work of time; a national taste, however wrong it may be, cannot be totally changed at once Picture Quote #1

You reduce illegal immigration by making it harder to get jobs here, or easier to get jobs south of the border. This idea that we can’t pass an immigration law until we hit some imaginary security target is just a way to derail reform Picture Quote #1

America does not need another political campaign based on denial and avoidance of some of our real problems. It needs a crusade to reform and renew our country, its institutions and political system Picture Quote #1

We need to reform our school lunch programs. We need to get healthy items into the vending machines Picture Quote #1

Ah, you miserable creatures! You who think that you are so great! You who judge humanity to be so small! You who wish to reform everything! Why don’t you reform yourselves? That task would be sufficient enough Picture Quote #1

We’re so busy resigning ourselves to the inevitable that we don’t even ask if it is inevitable. We’ve got to have courage, to take our future into our hands. If the law is oppressive, we must change the law. If tradition is obstructive, we must break tradition. If the system is unjust, we must reform the system Picture Quote #1

To try to reform all the power structures at once would leave us with no power structure to use in our project. In any case, we will be able to see that absolute moral renewal could be attempted only by an absolute power and that a tyrannous force such as this must destroy the whole moral life of man, not renew it Picture Quote #1

Religion must be used in furthering great works of justice and reform. It must be used to establish right relations between different groups of men, and thus to make a reality of brotherhood. It must be used to abolish poverty, the breeding ground of all misery and crime, by distributing equably among men the abundance of the soil. And it must be used to get rid of war and to establish enduring peace. Here is the supreme test of the effectiveness of religion Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been for immigration reform; in 2007 I just didn’t feel it had enough protections Picture Quote #1

We can’t really have a serious debate about reform on immigration if we don’t have operational control of the border... With the executive order out there, with the urgency of the threat, I think it’s very likely that we’ll get something passed, later this year Picture Quote #1

Some often repent, yet never reform; they resemble a man traveling in a dangerous path, who frequently starts and stops, but never turns back Picture Quote #1

Truly, matters in the world are in a bad state; but if you and I begin in earnest to reform ourselves, a really good beginning will have been made Picture Quote #1

Inspiration is not garnered from the litanies of what may befall us; it resides in humanity’s willingness to restore, redress, reform, rebuild, recover, reimagine, and reconsider Picture Quote #1

I sought to reform minstrelsy among refined people by making words suitable to their taste, instead of the trashy and really offensive words which belong to some songs of that order... Some of my songs should be performed in a pathetic, not a comic style Picture Quote #1

Somewhere I put it this way: first drafts are for learning what one’s fiction wants him to say. Revision works with that knowledge to enlarge and enhance an idea, to reform it. Revision is one of the exquisite pleasures of writing Picture Quote #1

In reality, we’ve had more spending, more bureaucracy, more waste and higher costs but without necessary reform nor rising productivity Picture Quote #1

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor Picture Quote #1

Political reform need not go hand in hand with economic liberalization.. I hold unconventional views about this.. I do not believe if you are a libertarian, full of diverse opinions, full of competing ideas in the market place, full of sound and fury, therefore you will succeed Picture Quote #1

If you would reform the world from its errors and vices, begin by enlisting the mothers Picture Quote #1

Do we have to shed blood to reform the current system? I hope it doesn’t come to that! But it might Picture Quote #1

Environmental laws give power to the people. Republicans can huff, puff and scream about what they consider strict regulations, but when they cry out for reform, for a quicker process, they’re really calling for a restriction of the rights of people to be involved in the planning process Picture Quote #1
