Think of what the world would have missed had a retirement age, even at 70, been universally enforced.
Age | Retirement | Wisdom | World |
R. D. Laing, fully Ronald David Laing
When the Copernican Revolution superseded the ancient Polemic world view, the earth took its rightful place as one planet among many. Man was no longer the center of the universe and though his self-image was deflated, he grew in maturity. In the same way, we must take our rightful place in nature - not as its self-centered and profligate "master" with the divine right of kings to exploit and despoil, but as one species living in harmony with the whole.
Earth | Exploit | Harmony | Man | Nature | Revolution | Right | Self | Universe | Wisdom | World |
Today the world is the victim of propaganda because people are not intellectually competent. More than anything in the United States needs effective citizens competent to do their own thinking.
To be a revolutionary is to love your life enough to change it, to choose struggle instead of exile, to risk everything with only the glimmering hope of a world to win...Woman loves with her whole soul. To woman love is life, to man it is the joy of life.
Change | Enough | Hope | Joy | Life | Life | Love | Man | Risk | Soul | Struggle | Wisdom | Woman | World |
The world desires to know what you have done, and hot how you did it.
If a man builds a better mousetrap than his neighbor, the world will not only beat a path to his door, it will make newsreels of him and his wife in beach pajamas, it will discuss his diet and his health, it will publish heart-throb stories of his love life.
Better | Diet | Health | Heart | Life | Life | Love | Man | Wife | Will | Wisdom | World |
Gottfried Leibniz, fully Gottfried Wilhalm von Leibniz, Baron von Leibnitz
There is a world of created beings - living things, animals, entelechies, and souls - in the least part of matter... Thus there is nothing waste, nothing sterile, nothing dead in the universe; no chaos, no confusions, save in appearance.
