I think the debate in our society now is that people have to agree on zero-tolerance to terrorism. - King Abdullah Ii Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. - John Lennon Human life is something that comes to us from beyond this world, and the purpose of our society is to cherish it and to enable the individual to attain the highest achievement of which he is capable - Harry S Truman ...our society is not divided into "good" and "bad." Cruelty does not make a person dishonest, the same way bravery does not make a person kind. - Veronica Roth Teaching the layperson (divulgare) is not distorting (tergiversare) the subject, but educating the public; and it is our duty as scientists to educate without distorting the essence of the scientific knowledge attained by humanity. The fu...

Australia has an increasingly multicultural society. - Julie Bishop We live in a multi-cultural society far more open to international ideas. If you'd told me 20 years ago I'd drive through Bury and see someone sitting outside a cafe drinking a latte, I'd have laughed. In fact, I wouldn't have even known what a latte was. - Gary Neville I think there's an awful lot of noise about the Church being persecuted but there is a more real issue that the conventional churches face - that the people who are really driving their revival and success believe in an old-time religion which, in my view, is incompatible with a modern, multi-ethnic, multicultural society. - Trevor Phillips

The judge said I was a menace to society because I had put crime on a scientific basis. - Gregory Corso The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals. - Martin Luther King Jr I am a greaser. I am a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city. I beat up people. I rob gas stations. I am a menace to society. Man do I have fun! - S E Hinton To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. - Theodore Roosevelt A drug is neither moral nor immoral--it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole. - Frank Zappa

We must never relinquish the vision of a humane society and a humane world. - Kjell Magne Bondevik Terms like that, "Humane Society," are devised with people like me in mind, who don't care to dwell on what happens to the innocent. - Barbara Kingsolver Radical changes in world politics leave America with a heightened responsibility to be, for the world, an example of a genuinely free, democratic, just and humane society. - Pope John Paul Ii I work with the Humane Society a lot and have three rescue cats. - Ian Somerhalder The Humane Society of America thinks Michael Vick should have a dog. I think whoever's in charge there should have a lobotomy. - Andrew Vachss

I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I'm proud of it. - Paul Krugman I don't think we live in a particularly equal society. - Sienna Miller Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society. - Sonia Sotomayor

As long as you have a system that is based on the rational that if you are making money you are thereby making a contribution to society, these financial rogue practices will continue. - David Korten I think cable has been under-appreciated for its contribution to society. - Brian Roberts

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute. - George Bernard Shaw I think it means that everyone is necessary. As long as a person finds some way to contribute to society, it doesn't matter which task he chooses. We're all important. - S L Wallace

Society, civilized society at least, is never very ready to believe anything to the detriment of those who are both rich and fascinating. - Oscar Wilde Civilized society is a hopeful belief and protest that science, money and goods make man count for more than any other animal. In this sense everything that man does is religious and heroic, and yet in danger of being fictitious and fallible, - Ernest Becker A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity. - Robert Frost The way she told it, the English counties are littered with aging spinsters who accidentally displayed a spark of intelligence at a debutant dance and were banished forever from civilized society - Michelle Cooper No civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law. - James F Cooper A civilized society is formed when every individual in that society are bound to obey the rules and regulation which is for the benefit of their ...

In emerging democracies like Russia, in authoritarian states like Iran or even Yugoslavia, journalists play a vital role in civil society. In fact, they form the very basis of those new democracies and civil societies. - Christiane Amanpour Business, labor and civil society organizations have skills and resources that are vital in helping to build a more robust global community. - Kofi Annan The greatest failure is that although we have created institutions, we have not created a civil society. - Paddy Ashdown A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society. - Joseph Ratzinger Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church. - Joseph Ratzinger Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any emin...

American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it. - Henry Brooks Adams If it is widely assumed that the new President cannot move forward simply because of a narrow victory, there can easily develop a sense of unease and uncertainty, adversely affecting every sector of American society, our economy and the perception of other nations. - Richard V Allen At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel. - Rudolf Arnheim When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself. - Isaac Asimov I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul. - Lee Atwater American Society for Psyc...
