Quotations by Subject: Society (18 quotes)

Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.: Raoul Vaneigem
The solution is to gradually become free of societal rewards and learn how to substitute for them rewards that are under one's own powers. This is not to say that we should abandon every goal endorsed by society; rather, it means that, in addition to or instead of the goals others use to bribe us with, we develop a set of our own.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Women and men have to fight together to change society - and both will benefit... Partnership, not dependence, is the real romance in marriage.: Muriel Fox
Never let the fear of failure be an excuse for not trying. Society tells us that to fail is the most terrible thing in the world, but I know it isn't. Failure is part of what makes us human.: Amber Deckers, Ella Mental and the Good Sense Guide

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Our first and most pressing problem is how to do away with warfare as a method of solving conflicts between national groups within a society who have different views about how the society is to run.: Margaret Mead (1901 - 1978)
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969), From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don't let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance.: Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)
He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.: Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Politics
