SOCIETY QUOTES V

quotations about society

As long as society is absolutely divided as milk is, the cream being at the top and the impoverished milk at the bottom, so long will society be unbalanced, and liable to be thrown into convulsions out of which will spring wars. A circulation throughout keeps it in health.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit


Society is no comfort
To one not sociable.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Cymbeline

Tags: William Shakespeare


If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

JOHN F. KENNEDY

Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961

Socially we are woven into the fabric of society, where every man is like one thread in a piece of cloth. No single thread has a right to say, "I will stay here no longer," and draw out. No man has a right to make a hole in the well-woven fabric of society.

The one no-one admires

It's invented by you and them

FRANCIS BACON

Advancement of Learning

Those who suffer their happiness to depend on the futile pleasures of society, instead of the resources of their own minds, resemble birds, who, with the power of soaring into the pure regions of the sky, descend, and loiter amid the dust of the earth, at the risk of being snared or destroyed by every vagrant urchin.

LADY BLESSINGTON

attributed, Day's Collacon


And therefore God created only one single man, not, certainly, that he might be a solitary bereft of all society, but that by this means the unity of society and the bond of concord might be more effectually commended to him, men being bound together not only by similarity of nature, but by family affection. And indeed He did not even create the woman that was to be given him as his wife, as he created the man, but created her out of the man, that the whole human race might derive from one man.

ST. AUGUSTINE

Tags: St. Augustine


If you really wish to become a man of society, you must learn first either to be an imbecile or to hold your tongue.

OCTAVE MIRBEAU

The Diary of a Chambermaid

Tags: Octave Mirbeau


They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
