Text Quotes
The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal (The State Quotes)
When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses (The State Quotes)
When will the state of the country be sound?... When its people believe that the end result of cowardice is more disastrous than that of behaving with integrity (The State Quotes)
The sure foundations of the state are laid in knowledge, not in ignorance; and every sneer at education, at culture, at book learning, which is the recorded wisdom of the experience of mankind, is the demagogue’s sneer at intelligent liberty, inviting national degeneracy and ruin (The State Quotes)
To strip a man of all loyalties but those to the state, makes him not only a worm but a monster, without a shred of humanity (The State Quotes)
The state must be the first to be organized and totally committed to serving the interests of the people (The State Quotes)
When I was thin, I had no notion of what being fat is like. When I worked in a department store, I had sold clothes to women of most sizes, so I should have known; but perhaps you have to experience the state from the inside, to understand what fat is like (The State Quotes)
One of the stated goals of the postmodern movement in architecture was a greater sensitivity to the people who live in or use newly designed buildings (The State Quotes)
These are the times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman (The State Quotes)
The state can’t give you freedom, and the state can’t take it away. You’re born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free (The State Quotes)
It’s nervous work. The state you need to write in is the state that others are paying large sums of money to get rid of (The State Quotes)
The rearing of children is considered too important to be left to the individual and should be the responsibility of the state (The State Quotes)
When it comes to paying contractors, the sky is the limit; when it comes to financing the basic functions of the state, the coffers are empty (The State Quotes)
Hope is a state of mind independent of the state of the world. If your heart’s full of hope, you can be persistent when you can’t be optimistic. You can keep the faith despite the evidence, knowing that only in so doing has the evidence any chance of changing. So while I’m not optimistic, I’m always very hopeful (The State Quotes)
If you think shrinking government and getting it less involved in your life is a hallmark of tyranny it is only because you are either grotesquely ignorant or because you subscribe to a statist ideology that believes the expansion of the state is the expansion of liberty (The State Quotes)
Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated (The State Quotes)
The story of terrorism is written by the state and it is therefore highly instructive… compared with terrorism, everything else must be acceptable, or in any case more rational and democratic (The State Quotes)
There is no pulse so sure of the state of a nation as its characteristic art product which has nothing to do with its material life (The State Quotes)
Political freedom cannot exist in any land where religion controls the state, and religious freedom cannot exist in any land where the state controls religion (The State Quotes)
To be a person who sees a political ad on television and takes the statements in it as fact, how can you exist in this world? How is it you’re not robbed daily by charlatans who knock at your door? (The State Quotes)
The state of man’s mind, or the elementary phase of mind which he so far possesses, conforms precisely to the state of the world as he so far views it (The State Quotes)
The measure of the state’s success is that the word anarchy frightens people, while the word state does not (The State Quotes)
Place the lives of children in their formative years, despite the convictions of their parents, under the intimate control of experts appointed by the state, force them to attend schools where the higher aspirations of humanity are crushed out, and where the mind is filled with the materialism of the day, and it is difficult to see how even the remnants of liberty can subsist (The State Quotes)
We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees. Writers and readers seek a solution to the problem that time passes, that those who have gone are gone and those who will go, which is to say every one of us, will go. For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create (The State Quotes)
Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can’t make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love (The State Quotes)
A politician thinks of the next election; a statement of the next generation. A politician looks for the success of his party; a statesman for that of his country. The statesman wishes to steer, while the politician is satisfied to drift (The State Quotes)
I have not been able to find a single useful institution which has not been founded either by an intensely religious man or by the son of a praying father or a praying mother. I have made the statement before the chambers of commerce of all the largest cities of the country and have asked them to bring forward a case that is an exception to this rule. Thus far, I have not heard of a single one (The State Quotes)
When men and women fail to form stable marriages, the result is a vast expansion of government attempts to cope with the terrible social needs that result. There is scarcely a dollar that the state and federal government spends on social programs that is not driven, in large part, by family fragmentation: crime, poverty, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, school failure, mental and physical health problems (The State Quotes)
No one wants to learn from mistakes, but we cannot learn enough from successes to go beyond the state of the art (The State Quotes)
Taxation is not a method by which the community corporately provides itself with essential services, but a fund to be divided between different interests with political claims upon the state (The State Quotes)
