A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

For years I have hoped that we could stop war as an instrument for settling any national and international difficulties. I have worked for it and shall continue to work for it. However, one has to face the world as it is and, without discarding one’s ideals, meet the realities of the day and keep on working for what one hopes will be a better future.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1940-05-17), “My Day”

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion — it is an evil government.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 147 (1955)

We have sold our inner world: our time and attention, our #values and #ideals, our #souls. The #Enlightenment of the 21st century will therefore turn to the inner world of human beings.

The cynical #demagogues who are conquering one country after another can only be so successful because our #culture is in retreat. We have replaced our #humanistic #ideals with money and are increasingly surrendering our inner world to the #economy and the #entertainment industry, wasting our time and energy on #trivialities.

Cybersecurity policies are often built on the ideals of uniformity, predictability, and control — understandable qualities in an industry where structure defends against chaos. But this rigid design can unintentionally alienate some of the most innovative thinkers in the field....

A quotation from Thoreau

Such do not know that like the seed is the fruit, and that, in the moral world, when good seed is planted, good fruit is inevitable, and does not depend on our watering and cultivating; that when you plant, or bury, a hero in his field, a crop of heroes is sure to spring up. This is a seed of such force and vitality, that it does not ask our leave to germinate.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Speech (1859-10-30), “A Plea for Captain John Brown,” Concord, Massachusetts

« When #Jefferson was writing the Declaration of #Independence in the weeks leading up July 4, 1776, he wanted to not only rely on enlightenment #ideals to justify the case for separation from Great Britain. His aim was also to present an indictment of King George III—to prove that the royal was a “#tyrant” and that he and Parliament had forfeited their right to rule the Americans by breaking their own #laws and trampling on the #rights of the people. About half of the Declaration is a list of #grievances against the King and his regime. 249 years later, many of these apply to the reign of #Trump...»

A quotation from Victor Hugo

Let the one fight for his flag, and the other for his ideal, and let both of them imagine that they are fighting for their country; the struggle will be colossal.
 
[Que l’un combatte pour son drapeau, et que l’autre combatte pour son idéal, et qu’ils s’imaginent tous les deux combattre pour la patrie; la lutte sera colossale.]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 5 “Jean Valjean,” Book 1 “The War Between Four Walls,” ch. 21 (5.1.21) (1862) [tr. Hapgood (1887)]
