Quotes
- “What the insurance companies have done is to reverse the business so that the public at large insures the insurance companies.”
- “Corporations do not make up this country, people do.”
- “At last, we are defined by how we use our power. Power often stands in the way of learning. Wisdom revealed by simple lessons is hard to see for leaders wearing the blinders of power. But we, too, have choices. We can relieve much of the suffering in this world and promote the potential of the species, or we can, following the example of Saddam, horde our power and exercise it for our own aggrandizement.”
- “Everyone wants to argue. Everyone does. Everyone needs to.”
- “Prejudice locks the mind. Nothing can enter. Nothing true can escape.”
- “Those whose minds are jammed with prejudice have room for little else. Growth is dead. Learning is gridlocked. They may understand our logic, but logic makes no difference. The word root of prejudice, praejudicium, implies prejudgment. People are prejudiced both for and against a philosophy, a religion, a belief system. They are prejudiced for or against a political party, the make of an automobile, a race, a person — you name it.”
