Society Quotes
– Felix Frankfurter
– Mahatma Gandhi
Leaders can express the values that hold the society together. Most important, they can conceive and articulate goals that life people out of their petty preoccupations, carry them above the conflicts that tear a society apart, and unite them in the pursuit of objectives worthy of their best efforts.
– John W. Gardner
As you improve health in a society, population growth goes down. You know, I thought it was... before I learned about it, I thought it was paradoxical.

I'd say that Catholicism in the United States has the distinct advantage of being in a pluralistic society, where your religion contributes something to your identity. So you tend to define yourself as a Catholic. I'm Irish, Catholic, a Democrat from the West Side of Chicago, and that's pretty much my identity.
– Andrew Greeley
– Alma Guillermoprieto
– Charles Gow
The men who still have the largest share of the power in society don't do any domestic work. The very people who are making our most important decisions should know how to cook, know how to grow a garden, diaper a baby, and raise young people. They should not only know these things but practice them.
– Susan Griffin
– Orrin Hatch
A lot of artists say they'd be happy in a classless society. But artists are often the first to deceive themselves. Put them in the kind of utopia they sentimentalize, and in no time, they would be binding their feet, lengthening their necks or flattening their heads, just to be different.
– Brad Holland
North Korea is the biggest threat right now. Kim Jong Il is a wild card. North Korean society has collapsed on itself: There aren't many dogs or cats, there are no lights on at night. When someone like that is so isolated and has the bomb, we're in danger. We have to worry about the Russian mafia. Russia has collapsed, it's a corrupt society.

A society committed to the search for truth must give protection to, and set a high value upon, the independent and original mind, however angular, however rasping, however socially unpleasant it may be; for it is upon such minds, in large measure, that the effective search for truth depends.
– Caryl P. Haskins
If a man is good in his heart, then he is an ethical member of any group in society. If he is bad in his heart, he is an unethical member. To me, the ethics of medical practice is as simple as that.

A university is not a service station. Neither is it a political society, nor a meeting place for political societies. With all its limitations and failures, and they are invariably many, it is the best and most benign side of our society insofar as that society aims to cherish the human mind.
– Richard Hofstadter
China has entered a new stage of development in which it will build a well-to-do society in an all-round manner and accelerate the socialist modernization drive.

Society and a court saw Jesus as an animal, monster, psychopath, and a bunch of other stuff but they spread him on a cross and torture him. He was just trying to teach people, but they labeled him and killed him. What can I say about society or any court that hasn't been said by their actions?
– Lonnie Earl Johnson
– Benjamin Jowett
I prefer what I remember to what is going on today. I don't like what I see today, the irresponsibility, the lack of moral values, permissiveness, lack of respect for the elderly, irresponsibility toward society. It depresses me.

A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.

I would change policy, bring back natural grass and nickel beer. Baseball is the belly-button of our society. Straighten out baseball, and you straighten out the rest of the world.

Even in the '80s when people were gay, it was still difficult for them to come out, whereas nowadays, 20 years on, I think, um, we have a far more open-minded society that embraces the notion of homosexuality, and I think there was this doubt about my gender, you know, and at the time it possibly was controversial but... they missed my message, if you see what I mean, because for me it wasn't about a sexual issue, it was more of a feminist thing.
– Annie Lennox
– Gerald F. Lieberman
I don't really judge what should be or what shouldn't be. I'm very much against that, because in China we had all the rules. As a child you have your grandparents, your parents, your teachers... I was in the army. I was in the Tibet army for three years when I was 14... Therefore, I'm very much against those rules in society... I think they limit you.

To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.

Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence.

Here in this country we find in place of an aristocracy of royalty an aristocracy of wealth. Far more dangerous to the race is it than the aristocracy of royalty. It is the aristocracy of gold that disintegrates society, destroys individuals and has ruined the proudest nations.
– Mary Elizabeth Lease
– Louis Lecoin
I compare the current era to the industrial revolution. Over a few generations, unevenly but still irresistibly and with great pain, the technological leap from traditional agricultural society brought profound transformations in every aspect of life, not only economic and political but social, cultural and moral.
– Flora Lewis
– John Madden
I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.
– Marilyn Manson
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
– Karl Marx

There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals. There's still a negative attitude in our society towards women who use a strength that's inherent - their femininity - in any way that might be considered seductive.
