Genocide is not just a murderous madness; it is, more deeply, a politics that promises a utopia beyond politics - one people, one land, one truth, the end of difference. Since genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis. Michael Ignatieff Society
In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it. Cal Thomas Society
All that is needed to set us definitely on the road to a Fascist society is war. It will of course be a modified form of Fascism at first. John T. Flynn Society
Libel actions, when we look at them in perspective, are an ornament of a civilized society. They have replaced, after all, at least in most cases, a resort to weapons in defense of a reputation. Henry Anatole Grunwald Society
I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society. George Soros Society
In every society in human history, including the United States, those in power seek to imbue themselves with the attributes of religion and patriotism as a way of getting greater support for their policy and insulating themselves from any criticism. George J. Mitchell Society
If we don't preserve the natural resources, you aren't going to have a sustainable society. This is not something for Chez Panisse and the elite of San Francisco. It's for everyone. Alice Waters Society
It was a major dream come true at last. In many respects, Jerusalem is a very modern and important story about people in a period of transition, with all the unrest that permeates society on the eve of a new century. The big life issues are at stake. Bille August Society
When men take pleasure in feeling their minds elevated with strong drink, and so indulge their appetite as to disorder their understandings, neglect their duty as members of a family or civil society, and cast off all regard to religion, their case is much to be pitied. John Woolman Society
Don't accumulate if you do not need. The excess of wealth in your hands is for the society, and you are the trustee for the same. Mahavira Society
You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it. Art Buchwald Society
Modern society, based as it is on the division of labor, can be preserved only under conditions of lasting peace. Ludwig von Mises Society
I think right now the way society's going, I think role models are important, and kids need direction. If I didn't have that direction growing up, who knows what I could be doing, because I've been lost many times in my life, and I've had to have someone guide me back on the right path. Jeremy Lin Society
The regeneration of society is the regeneration of society by individual education. Jean de la Bruyere Society
I'm an Afro-realist. I take what comes, and I do my best to affect what is unacceptable in society. Wole Soyinka Society
A society whose members are united by the fact that they think in the same way in regard to the sacred world and its relations with the profane world, and by the fact that they translate these common ideas into common practices, is what is called a Church. In all history, we do not find a single religion without a Church. Emile Durkheim Society
What I worry about is the lack of understanding in society around the world that there is a divide in the world between those who have and those who do not. Magdi Yacoub Society
It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all. Betty Friedan Society
To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm. Friedrich August von Hayek Society
