The State becomes society or humanity on the ethical side, a production and trade system on the economic side.

If pessimism is despair, optimism is cowardice and stupidity. Is there any need to choose between them?

Hatred is not contained in political thinking. Any hatred worked up against the public enemy is non-political, and always shows some weakness in the internal political situation.

A political theory seeks to find from history the limits of the politically possible.

Liberalism can only be defined negatively. It is a mere critique, not a living idea.

No section of the American populace has been more completely deceived by the forces interested in keeping the truth from the people than America's youth.

Leftist ideas are a part of the very atmosphere which American youth breathes.

Liberalism is a most important by-product of Rationalism, and its origins and ideology must be clearly shown.

Rationalism, which is the feeling that everything is subject to and completely explicable by Reason, consequently rejects everything not visible and calculable.

The State becomes society or humanity on the ethical side, a production and trade system on the economic side.

Man as a pure animal does not exist.

Pessimism only describes an attitude, and not facts, and hence is entirely subjective.

The important part of Marxism was its demand for active, constant, practical, class-war.

As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts.

The independence of the economic sphere was a tenet of faith with Liberalism.

The way politics divides the world is into friend and enemy.

Alliance does not mean love, any more than war means hate.

The early American arrived at a land of which he knew nothing.

Politics is activity in relation to power.

The purest expression of the doctrine of Liberalism was probably that of Benjamin Constant.

To an intellectual who is adrift in politics, a theory is an aim; to a true politician his theory is a boundary.

A moment's reflection shows that Liberalism is entirely negative. It is not a formative force, but always and only a disintegrating force.

The 19th century was the age of Individualism; the 20th and 21st are the ages of Socialism.

Every non-political human grouping of whatever kind, legal, social, religious, economic or other becomes at last political if it creates an opposition deep enough to range men against one another as enemies.

To the fantastic mental illness of Rationalism, hard facts are regrettable things, and to talk about them is to create them.

Capitalism is not an economic system, but a world-outlook, or rather, a part of a whole world-outlook.

Every science is a profane restatement of the preceding dogmas of the religious period.

Liberalism is Rationalism in politics.

Capitalism is not an economic system but a world outlook or rather a part of a whole world outlook.

Set religion free, and a new humanity will begin.

There are those, I know, who will reply that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is. It is the American Dream.

Humanity is the sin of God.

From now on it is only through a conscious choice and through a deliberate policy that humanity can survive.

Complete and total perfection will come about only when we feel that our perfection is no perfections as long as the rest of humanity remains imperfect.

What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.

When I reached adulthood, even now, I could afford to belong to a country club. But I could never belong to a private club because of my experience as a child, because it would isolate me from the whole of humanity.

The United States cannot feed every person, lift every person out of poverty, cure every disease, or stop every conflict. But our power and status have conferred upon us a tremendous responsibility to humanity.

Both politicians and journalists face situations which strain their honesty and humanity. My opinion is that politicians on the average stand up somewhat better than journalists.

I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their responsibility to humanity.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.

Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

You have to open your mind. I like the ability to express myself in a deep way. It's the closest music to our humanity - it's like a folk music that rises up out of a culture.

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.

Anyway, I just haven't been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.

Mr. Speaker, genocide is the most potent of all crimes against humanity because it is an effort to systematically wipe out a people and a culture as well as individual lives.

All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

Humanity is quite a unique species, since it is the only one with the means to wipe itself out.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

There are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.
