Society Quotes

The basis of peace and stability, in any society, has to be the fullest respect for the human rights of all its people Picture Quote #1

Dream of a society at peace with its conscience because it respects and lives in harmony with all life forms Picture Quote #1

By failing to read or listen to poets, society dooms itself to inferior modes of articulation, those of the politician, the salesman, or the charlatan. In other words, it forfeits its own evolutionary potential. For what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom is precisely the gift of speech. Poetry is not a form of entertainment and in a certain sense not even a form of art, but it is our anthropological, genetic goal. Our evolutionary, linguistic beacon Picture Quote #1

Societies without a reservoir of people who don’t follow the rules lack an important mechanism for societal evolution. Vibrant societies need a dishonest minority; if society makes its dishonest minority too small, it stifles dissent as well as common crime Picture Quote #1

We need a new kind of citizenship, so that we can see citizens as themselves earning the rank of patriot because of their involvement in their community affairs... We as a society need to be encouraging people to focus not just on individual wants but on serving the larger community Picture Quote #1

In order for us as poor and oppressed people to become part of a society that is meaningful, the system under which we now exist has to be radically changed... It means facing a system that does not lend its self to your needs and devising means by which you change that system Picture Quote #1

Children do not constitute anyone’s property: they are neither the property of their parents nor even of society. They belong only to their own future freedom Picture Quote #1

When a society is organized around that which is fitting in each realm, then peace, the fruit of justice, can flourish Picture Quote #1

Citizenship comes first today in our crowded world... No man can enjoy the privileges of education and thereafter with a clear conscience break his contract with society. To respect that contract is to be mature, to strengthen it is to be a good citizen, to do more than your share under it is noble Picture Quote #1

Democracy is not just a question of having a vote. It consists of strengthening each citizen’s possibility and capacity to participate in the deliberations involved in life in society Picture Quote #1

The social potential movement is on the threshold of a mass awakening, seeking to carry into society what individuals have learned spiritually and personally Picture Quote #1

A truly free society must not include a peace which oppresses us. We must learn on our own terms what peace and freedom mean together. There can be no peace if there is social injustice and suppression of human rights, because external and internal peace are inseparable. Peace is not just the absence of mass destruction, but a positive internal and external condition in which people are free so that they can grow to their full potential Picture Quote #1

As a society, we’ve learned that we’re all better off when everyone is included in the opportunities of this great nation Picture Quote #1

Our ultimate objective in learning about anything is to try to create and develop a more just society Picture Quote #1

If you want a strong society, it has to be inclusive. If you have to push a boulder up a hill, do you want 10 people or 100? If you weed out colour or gender, you get 10 Picture Quote #1

Ensuring the access of all citizens to government information and to essential information for human development is a must for every democratic society Picture Quote #1

Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, with health greatly improved, with little, if any misery, and with intelligence and happiness increased a hundredfold; and no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society from becoming universal Picture Quote #1

Can we make a better world for our children? I believe we can, if enough people are concerned and get involved in changing what is wrong with society Picture Quote #1

Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society Picture Quote #1

A society committed to the search for truth must give protection to, and set a high value upon, the independent and original mind, however angular, however rasping, however socially unpleasant it may be; for it is upon such minds, in large measure, that the effective search for truth depends Picture Quote #1

You can’t run a society or cope with its problems if people are not held accountable for what they do Picture Quote #1

If people who have to work together in an enterprise trust one another it is because they are all operating to a common set of ethical norms... such a society will be better able to innovate... since the high degree of trust will permit a wide variety of social relationships to emerge Picture Quote #1

The void in our society has been produced by the absence of values... we have no widespread belief in the value of participation. The rational system has made us fear standing out in any serious way Picture Quote #1

Compassion is not a sloppy sentimental feeling for people who are underprivileged or sick... it is an absolutely practical belief that regardless of a person’s background, ability or ability to pay, he should be provided with the best that society has to offer Picture Quote #1

Advertising and the free society are closely connected. Advertising helps to make a free society remain so by increasing competition, and by helping to maintain the freedom of the mass media themselves. The free society is one where advertising and advertising agencies are likely to be in considerable demand, though it is true that even in a totally centralist society there would still be a need for organisations and people to have access to mass communication media Picture Quote #1

To work effectively as an agent of change in a pluralistic society, it is necessary to be able to connect with people different from oneself Picture Quote #1

After a war, the silencing of arms is not enough. Peace means respecting all rights. You can’t respect one of them and violate the others. When a society doesn’t respect the rights of its citizens, it undermines peace and leads it back to war Picture Quote #1

It’s crucial to understand that as a society, we can reorganize. We can reorganize socially, politically, and economically, and we can reorganize according to our values Picture Quote #1

In a society where all are related, simple decisions require the approval of nearly everyone in that society. It is society as a whole, not merely a part of it, that must survive. This is the indigenous understanding. It is the understanding in a global sense. We are all indigenous people on this planet, and we have to reorganize to get along Picture Quote #1

There is no level playing field. Any time our society says that a powerful chemical company has the same right as a low income family that’s living next door, that playing field is not level, is not fair Picture Quote #1
