Man perfected by society is the best of all animals; he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.

Aristotle

No computer network with pretty graphics can ever replace the salespeople that make our society work.

Clifford Stoll

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

Mother Teresa

In a rational society we would want our presidents to be teachers. In our actual society we insist they be cheerleaders.

Steve Allen

Society exists for the benefit of its members, not the members for the benefit of society.

Herbert Spencer

The glorification of the "'woman's role," then, seems to be in proportion to society's reluctance to treat women as complete human beings; for the less real function that role has, the more it is decorated with meaningless details to conceal its empt.

Betty Friedan

The society of women is the element of good manners.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.

Charles Bukowski

In a civilized society, all crimes are likely to be sins, but most sins are not and ought not to be treated as crimes. Man's ultimate responsibility is to God alone.

Geoffrey Fisher

You will find the Americans much like the Greeks found the Romans: great, big, vulgar, bustling people more vigorous than we are and also more idle, with more unspoiled virtues but also more corrupt.

Harold Macmillan

It doesn't take a genius to pump up the GNP [of a developing country] by burning down rainforests, using slave labor and social repression to keep things in place.

Hazel Henderson

The organization of American society is an interlocking system of semi-monopolies notoriously venal, an electorate notoriously unenlightened, misled by a mass media notoriously phony.

Paul Goodman

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.

Michel Foucault

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?

Paul Sweeney

Terrorism takes us back to ages we thought were long gone if we allow it a free hand to corrupt democratic societies and destroy the basic rules of international life.

Jacques Chirac

'There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will.Behind that outside pattern the dim shapes get clearer every day.It is always the same shape, only very numerous.And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern.'

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

What's wrong with society? What is wrong is people give up searching for the trust and sit back and blend in with the crowd. But that's not who I want to be. Blending in is not my thing.

Kamanda Ndama

When they turn the pages of history,when these days have passed long ago--will they read of us with sadnessfor the seeds that we let grow?

Neil Peart

To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women.

Angela Davis

People who are much too sensitive to demand of cripples that they run races ask of the poor that they get up and act just like everyone else in society.

Michael Harrington

Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.

John Andrew Holmes

A fully functional multiracial society cannot be achieved without a sense of history and open, honest dialogue.

Cornel West

The writer is the Faust of modern society, the only surviving individualist in a mass age. To his orthodox contemporaries he seems a semi-madman.

Boris Pasternak

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Frank Zappa

Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money.

A. J. Liebling

The United States in the 1980s may be the first society in history in which children are distinctly worse off than adults.

Daniel P. Moynihan

A junkie is someone who uses their body to tell society that something is wrong.

Stella Adler

No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

Naomi Wolf

Insanity is the only sane reaction to an insane society.

Thomas S. Szasz

Society is well governed when the people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.

Solon

A society that thinks the choice between ways of living is just a choice between equally eligible "lifestyles" turns universities into academic cafeterias offering junk food for the mind.

George F. Will

The first duty of society is to give each of its members the possibility of fulfilling his destiny. When it becomes incapable of performing this duty it must be transformed.

Alexis Carrel

I couldn't quit, because of all the kids, and the blacks, and the little people pulling for me. I represent both the underdog and the overdog in our society.

Reggie Jackson

Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.

Edward Abbey

A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange...Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.

Aristotle

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

It is in justice that the ordering of society is centered.

Aristotle

Society produces rogues, and education makes one rogue cleverer than another.

Oscar Wilde

Do not speak ill of society, Algie. Only people who can't get in do that.

Oscar Wilde

Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.

Oscar Wilde

The affluent society, with relentless single-minded energy, is turning our cities, most of suburbia and most of our roadways into the most affluent slum on earth.

Eric Sevareid

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

John F. Kennedy

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

John F. Kennedy

Let him who expects one class of society to prosper into highest degree, while the other is in distress, try whether one side of his face can smile while the other is pinched.

Dr. Thomas Fuller

My views and feelings (are) in favor of the abolition of war-and I hope it is practicable, by improving the mind and morals of society, to lessen the disposition to war; but of its abolition I despair.

Thomas Jefferson

Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.

Thomas Jefferson

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

I'm against a homogenized society, because I want the cream to rise.

Robert Frost

The church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Between two groups of men that want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds I see no remedy except force... It seems to me that every society rests on the death of men.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

In a free society no one can win all the time. No one can have his way all the time and no one is right all the time.

Richard M. Nixon

Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.

Benjamin Franklin

Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

Edmund Burke

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

A good prince will tax as lightly as possible those commodities which are used by the poorest members of society: grain, bread, beer, wine, clothing, and all other staples without which human life could not exist.

Desiderius Erasmus

Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.

Sir Francis Bacon

As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.

Nelson Mandela

We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.

Malcolm X

I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.

Malcolm X

The discovery of this strange society was a curiously refreshing thing; to realize that there were ten new trades in the world was like looking at the first ship or the first plough. It made a man feel what he should feel, that he was still in the childhood of the world.

G. K. Chesterton

The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens. As Americans, we are blessed with circumstances that protect our human rights and our religious freedom, but for many people around the world, deprivation and persecution have become a way of life.

Jimmy Carter

Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings.

Jimmy Carter

Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their opressors.

Evelyn Cunningham

Doctors are not servants of their patients, they are traders like everyone else in a free society and they should bear that title proudly considering the crucial importance of the services they offer.

Ayn Rand

Trust a nitwit society like this one to think that there are only two categories - fag and straight.

Gore Vidal

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

Ayn Rand

Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

Harry S Truman

I believe that individuals can make a difference in society. Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.

The Dalai Lama

A society that puts equality... ahead of freedom will end up with neither. .

Milton Friedman

The free expression of the hopes and aspirations of a people is the greatest and only safety in a sane society.

Emma Goldman

The most violent element in society is ignorance.

Emma Goldman

Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.

Amos Bronson Alcott

One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We also have plans to set up similar systems in Neil and Havelock islands because the oldest recorded understanding of seismic phenomenon is from these two islands as published in a 1928 study in the Asiatic Society Journal.

Samir Acharya

Howard Dean's statement makes it clear that he wants to muzzle America's churches and religious groups from professing what they believe on important issues facing our society.

Joseph Cella

The conscientious objector is a revoultionary. On deciding to disobey the law he sacrifices his personal interests to the most important cause of working for the betterment of society.

Albert Einstein

The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.

Albert Einstein

Fear itself motivates people in the U.S. -- the fear that you could lose everything. That creates the best in American society, the inventiveness, but the moment the net is pulled out, it becomes a terrible jungle.

Cary Cooper

There's something very charming and warm about Blondie and Dagwood, and something very honest about the strip. It's as if (Young) is holding up a slightly cracked mirror to society.

Chris Browne

Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman's natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.

Ann Oakley

I think the American people have isolated a very important issue for our society to be dealing with. The entire list gives us an interesting window that opens up into what people are thinking about in their lives.

John Morse

No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Thomas Hobbes

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

John Madden

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

We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the whole society loses because it would only lead to more anarchical violence.

Dewi Fortuna Anwar

Sleeping in a bed -- it is, apparently, of immense importance. Against those who sleep, from choice or necessity, elsewhere society feels righteously hostile. It is not done. It is disorderly, anarchical.

Dame Rose Macaulay

I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.

Anna Quindlen

Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.

J. Edgar Hoover

Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face, women have been trained to cut off anger.

Nancy Friday

The value of history is, indeed, not scientific but moral: by liberalizing the mind, by deepening the sympathies, by fortifying the will, it enables us to control, not society, but ourselves - a much more important thing; it prepares us to live more.

Carl Becker

There is a very real brain component to addiction, and society up to now has for the most part has viewed it as failure of will.

Richard Pops

It's so great to be honoured by your country in this way. It sends a message that if you sacrifice and have courage and commitment, you can have a positive impact in your society. The brave acts and great contributions by some of the people here show that we live in a nation that still cares and respects those who are selfless.

Lucas Radebe

None of my "clients" - not Eichmann, not Stangl, not Mengele, and not even Hitler or Stalin - was born a criminal. Somebody had to teach them to hate: maybe the society, maybe the politics, maybe just a Jewish prostitute.

Simon Wiesenthal

Preventing influenza in children, we think, will reduce influenza in our society.

Robert Belshe

It was a time in my life. I made a mistake. I pleaded guilty to it. I admitted to what my problems were. I paid my debt to society, and moved on.

Dan Bailey

We truly convinced that the respect and protection of human rights and freedoms are the main pillars of a pluralistic democratic society.

Fatos Nano

Women's battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, . . . home economics than financial economics.

Paula Nelson

I discovered when things were changing that one must always remain open to taking risks and chances in society.

Matthias Platzeck

Money is the most egalitarian force in society. It confers power on whoever holds it.

Roger Starr

The NAACP stands behind the school board's decision to redistrict. The NAACP feels separate-but-equal has no place in this society. We feel that if parents would let the children go to school together it (the issue) would work itself out.

Calvin Henderson

When I was first in Czechoslovakia, it occurred to me that I work in a society where as a writer everything goes and nothing matters, while for the Czech writers I met in Prague, nothing goes and everything matters.

Philip Roth

We are good people who want to contribute to this nation. More than anything, people were saying, 'This is who we are. Most of the time we're invisible to society, but this is who we are. We're not criminals. We're families. We're mothers, we're fathers, we're workers'.

Angelica Salas

If today's act does not sound an alarm, society faces grave danger.

Borukh Gorin

We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge.

Matt Blunt

...The nature of this offence is one that I'm finding rather difficult to deal with. You know the fight the society is putting up with drugs.

Rm Gayle

The reform program is not about the next few years, but being able to maintain our society for the next generation. We may well lose years in the reform process, and we can't afford to lose any time.

Lutz Erbring

[Researchers at the American Cancer Society compared the risk of dying among overweight people in two of its studies-one done from 1982 to 1991 and another from 1998 to 2002.] Instead of decreasing, ... the relative risk of dying among the overweight actually increased over time.

Michael Thun

This will be beneficial for all students, especially in research-oriented careers who need to receive, store and publish information. We are an information society and this will eliminate the learning time.

Michael Gould

We received a grant through the Discovery Project to visit the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Society, and the Oregon Zoo.

Brenda Anderson

The pace and in some cases the nature of changes happening in society are occurring so rapidly that even our best efforts at incremental change leave us running in order to standstill.

Lord Puttnam

It's the perfect storm for worrying about what effect we're having on society rather than the next best great thing.

Glyn Meek

We're just stewards of the heritage asset for the community at this point. That's why there needs to be a society. It's above and beyond the cash flow.

Ann Nelson

I think we've gotten way too lackadaisical. Our society is very reactive rather than proactive, and it bothers me that the huge changes right after September 11, like the National Guard at the airport, have been cut back.

Amy Allen

If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.

Harriet Martineau

The AIDS epidemic is one of the greatest challenges to our society today. It is a fight that we cannot afford to lose.

Anthony S. Fauci

Let's say that out of this 20,000, let's say 10,000 will decide in the end not to be Jewish -- so what? If part of them convert to Christianity, Israel is filled with guest workers. Israel is a heterogeneous society.

Barry Shrage

There is an on-going failure to establish a mutually acceptable format on such issues as fund-raising and publicity. The Rainier Historical Society regrets that such a move has to occur, as we had been hopeful that the River Queen might have a chance at being restored as a restaurant.

Bob Stevens

We are slaves to this consumer society, ... When this civilization ends, what are they going to see when the archaeologists dig us up? I think they're going to say we worshipped technology.

Adam Horowitz

Those who insist that marijuana has medical uses would serve society better by promoting or sponsoring more legitimate research.

Robert Bonner

We live in a disposable society, but here, you keep and reuse. I once ordered a part and had it delivered. The part was $10. The delivery was $90. After that, you tend to weigh those decisions a little more carefully.

Don Anderson

We live in a society today where live breaking news is a common occurrence and people want to know what's going on right now.

Paul Scanlan

The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.

Morrie Schwartz

In a democratic society, there ought to be some turnover. There ought to be some opportunity for other people to move along and exercise this enormous power that they have.

Paul Carrington

People, who rise above their petty individual selfishness and work for the welfare of society are considered patriots.

Sam Veda

We want to put an end to the one-party rule and political hegemony and to have pluralism that reflects the different viewpoints in society.

Talal Oukal

Society, my dear, is like salt water, good to swim in but hard to swallow.

Arthur Stringer

A society like Canada's, with its four centuries of give-and-take, compromise and acceptance, wrong-doing and redress, is basically a forgiving society.

Adrienne Clarkson

Hong Kong needs a harmonious society and so does the movie industry.

Ming Pao

The Jews of India are unique in that they're Indians before they're Jews because their society is so welcoming toward them.

Dan Zuckerman

All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.

John Cheever

Not everything you want is everything you really need. The standard of society is motivated by greed. Are you prepared to follow, tell me, are you prepared to lead?So perservere and you'll succeed.

Peter Shaggy

Imagination, which is the Eldorado of the poet and of the novel-writer, often proves the most pernicious gift to the individuals who compose the talkers instead of the writers in society.

Marguerite Blessington

Education is the cornerstone of a society, ... The most important investment we can make collectively and individually is in education. It amounts to an investment in the development of the province.

Bernard Lord

We're interested in Lorain history. We wanted to update the society for the future and make people in the city more aware of us. We've become more involved in the community and have had a presence at all of the city's festivals.

Frank Sipkovsky

(FHS) is going to be much more representative of our society. I greatly look forward to getting working with the whole school.

Michael Welch

I have always maintained that the one important phenomenon presented by modern society is - the enormous prosperity of Fools.

Wilkie Collins

I'm in India at this point. I'm trying to figure out how I can get gigs there. Because an American couldn't even get a job there. India is such a closed society that anything that you got-TVs, cars, whatever-is made there. They don't import anything; duty is so high. So you can't get a job as like a touring band.

Bob Livingston

My business grew out of the lifestyle change of society. Life is busy - life has gotten off-the-chart busy. Our mothers had a different kind of life because life just moved at a different pace. Families just don?t live like they use to.

Carolee Cannata

I see ... the faces of these young people, and I see their hearts and that they really do want change, and that they deserve it. They deserve a better society and so that is what motivates me and I think that I can be a part of creating that and having [been] given that chance, I don't want to blow it.

Anita Hill

The secret is out. There is something decent unfolding in Iraq. It's unfolding in the shadow of a terrible insurgency, but a society is finding its way to constitutional politics.

Fouad Ajami

You're isolated from the rest of society.

Rick Glass

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

Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society...

Dean Gordon Brown

Massachusetts and Vermont do not represent the majority of Californians. The people of California have spoken on this issue (with the 2000 measure). We put marriage on a pedestal because of its value to society. We will do everything we can to strengthen the family as we've always known it.

Benjamin Lopez

For centuries we have been living in the society where not laws but people ruled, where there was no legal state.

Nursultan Nazarbayev

There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones.

Anwar Sadat

We have good volunteers. Without the volunteers, the society wouldn't be what it is today.

Frank Sipkovsky

Castro basically told people if you don't want to be part of the government, part of the society, then get out. I was one of the first ones to sign up.

Herald Alfredo Castillo

The people who were left behind in New Orleans are the people who are always left: the poor, the people without power, the people that our society doesn't care about.

Bryan Fair

Unfortunately R10 a year is a very small increase if you look at the cost of caring for a child in today's society.

Lynette Schreuder

The public has a huge interest in the future of Air New Zealand, not only as shareholders but also because safe and reliable travel is vitally important to our society and economy.

Andrew Little

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.

Henry Steele Commager

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute.

G. B. Stern

Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer.

Nat Turner

It's not a disease. It's not contagious. They should understand that it's a story of pure love. They don't have to be a hero. They don't have to be brave like us. I guess a little bit of maturity is being asked for because society has been immature in the past. That's about it.

Heath Ledger

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.

Henry Van Dyke

I prefer San Francisco to Los Angeles. I prefer New York to Philadelphia. Why? The kind of concentration that is achieved in them creates certain choices, an openness of society that is not possible in the lower-density environments.

Moshe Safdie

It's not a Canadian value for Canadians to carry handguns. We strongly believe there is no place in our society for handguns.

Amy Butcher

May deserve it, of course they may for doing something heinous, they don't deserve to live in civilized society, they may deserve the death penalty.

Josef Stalin

ETA is killing, but every day it is more and more distant from Basque society.

Juan Jose Ibarretxe

Politicians can best help . . . the internet community by staying out of the way. Politicians usually are a few steps behind society. When it comes to the internet, they are laps behind.

Steve Urquhart

All further relations with Saudi Arabia must be entirely contingent on the kingdom's progress cracking down, reigning in and snuffing out its terrorist problem. Deeds -- not words -- must be the benchmark of Saudi progress in solving the terrorist problem that threatens its society as much as it threatens our own.

Frank Lautenberg

Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.

W. H. Auden

He understands civic society, and he understands duty. And once he makes a decision, it just happens, because he empowers the staff to do it.

Tom Coffey

It is our clear view that a cyberthreat can disrupt the provision of services and disrupt our society, disable our society even more so than can a well-placed bomb.

Jamie Gorelick

The guy that invented this said when you're children and you have total freedom of movement, he tries to get you back into that balance and way of moving. As a society, we've sat through school, and sat at our job, and we sit in our car.

Angie Johnson

My job as a teacher is to challenge students to think critically about issues that are affecting our world and our society.

Jay Bennish

The good news is lawyers were seen as helpful to our society by 82 percent of the population.

Cynthia Cohen

America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.

Dinesh D'Souza

In society it is etiquette for ladies to have the best chairs and get handed things. In the home the reverse is the case. This is why ladies are more sociable than gentlemen.

Virginia Graham

Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself.

Thomas Browne, Sr.

French society was a lot more violent in the 1960s and 70s.

Francois Heisbourg

To us, the biggest social issue of the day is what we are doing to the planet's atmosphere because of (President) Bush's decision to convert us to a coal-based electrical society.

Jim Dougherty

In society, one doesn't tell the truth, one tells the exact opposite.

Nelson Eddy

The Constitution is the fundamental rule for people to live in society. If the rule no longer suits the lives of the general public due to changing times, it should be changed. That goes for regular laws as well as the Constitution.

Ichiro Ozawa

The social and economic implications of an aging population -- and of the baby boom in particular -- are likely to be profound for both individuals and society.

Louis Kincannon

I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.

Bryce Dallas Howard

As a society, we want a clean package. This (Manhattan) formula does not account for a lot of factors, either.

Bob Harman

Those who engage in the sexual exploitation of children should no longer expect the anonymity of cyberspace to protect them. ICE will continue to work with foreign and domestic law enforcement agencies to safeguard those most vulnerable members of society, our children.

John Colledge

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society, events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion, and not on the opinion of the masses.

Yitzhak Shamir

I'm sick and tired of black and white people of good intent giving aspirin to a society that is dying of a cancerous disease.

Ralph Abernathy

This wonderful plant has so many uses and yet is often neglected in our society. The primary use of the dandelion plant is for its superior liver cleansing qualities. The plant is a powerhouse of nutrients!

Valerie Hoffman

Rules of society are nothing; ones conscience is the umpire.

Madame Dudevant

What you find is that the U.S. Supreme Court very seldom if ever marches very far from the conventional thinking of contemporary society. They pay attention and are infected by mainstream thinking of what's moral and what's right and what's just.

Bruce Fein

That's the real shame. Society is not well-served by sending a convict to a penitentiary who needs mental-health care.

Daniel Brodsky

The family is the first essential cell of human society.

Pope John Xxiii

It is typical and completely appropriate. It's an insurance policy that more than 90 percent of corporate America has in place. Given the fact that we live in a litigious society, it's something that is necessary.

Claudia Rapkoch

Women are the real architects of society.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

After World War II society had to settle back for a moment before it picked up the 20th century.

Stella Blum

All of us who professionally use the mass media are the shapers of society. We can vulgerize that society. We can brutalize it. Or we can help lift it onto a higher level.

William Bernbach

The Bible is the Chief moral cause of all that is good, and the best corrector of all that is evil, in human society; the best book for regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the only book that can serve as an infallible guide.

Noah Webster

Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt.

Shirley Chisholm

Nothing ever gets settled in this town.. a seething debating society in which the debate never stops, in which people never give up, including me. And so that's the atmosphere in which you administer.

George P. Shultz

We would ask for more support from charity groups and society.

Li Liguo
