WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/38164/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Montaigne</a><blockquote>We readily inquire, “Does he know Greek or Latin?” “Can he write poetry and prose?” But what matters most is what we put last: “Has he become better and wiser?” We ought to find out not who understands most but who understands best. We work merely to fill the memory, leaving the understanding and the sense of right and wrong empty.   [Nous enquerons volontiers, Sçait-il du Grec ou du Latin ? escrit-il en vers ou en prose ? mais, s’il est devenu meilleur ou plus advisé, c’estoit le principal, & c’est ce qui demeure derriere. Il falloit s’enquerir qui est mieux sçavant, non qui est plus sçavant. Nous ne travaillons qu’à remplir la memoire, & laissons l’entendement & la conscience vuide.]</blockquote>Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist Essay (yyyy), “Of Pedantry[Du pedantisme] (1572-1578), Essays, Book 1, ch. 24 (1.24) (1595) [tr.

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/russell-bertrand/75565/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Bertrand Russell</a><blockquote>I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more. This is due partly to having discovered what were the things that I most desired, and having gradually acquired many of these things. Partly it is due to having successfully dismissed certain objects of desire — such as the acquisition of indubitable knowledge about something or other — as essentially unattainable. But very largely it is due to a diminishing preoccupation with myself. Like others who had a Puritan education, I had the habit of meditating on my sins, follies, and shortcomings. I seemed to myself — no doubt justly — a miserable specimen. Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection.</blockquote>Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/russell-bertrand/75565/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/russell-bertrand/755…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=BertrandRussell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BertrandRussell</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=puritanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puritanism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=acquisitions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acquisitions</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=attention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#attention</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=desire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#desire</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=enjoyment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enjoyment</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=externalities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#externalities</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=focus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#focus</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=happiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#happiness</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#life</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=living" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#living</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfabsorption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfabsorption</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfcriticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfcriticism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfdeprecation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfdeprecation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfloathing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfloathing</a>

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/75463/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Orwell</a><blockquote>All through the Christian ages, and especially since the French Revolution, the Western world has been haunted by the idea of freedom and equality; it is only an idea, but it has penetrated to all ranks of society. The most atrocious injustices, cruelties, lies, snobberies exist everywhere, but there are not many people left who can regard these things with the same indifference as, say, a Roman slave-owner. Even the millionaire suffers from a vague sense of guilt, like a dog eating a stolen leg of mutton. Nearly everyone, whatever his actual conduct may be, responds emotionally to the idea of human brotherhood.</blockquote>George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair] Essay (1939), “Charles Dickens,” sec. 6, Inside the Whale (1940-03-11) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/75463/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/orwell-george/75463/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orwell</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=brotherhood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brotherhood</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equality</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedom</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=guilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guilt</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=hypocrisy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypocrisy</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=shame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shame</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=socialjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialjustice</a>

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/zinn-howard/35668/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Zinn</a><blockquote>   An optimist isn’t necessarily a blithe, slightly sappy whistler in the dark of our time. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacriﬁce, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magniﬁcently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.    And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an inﬁnite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in deﬁance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.</blockquote>Howard Zinn (1922-2010) American historian, academic, author, social activist Essay (2004-09-02), “The Optimism of Uncertainty,” The Nation Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/zinn-howard/35668/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/zinn-howard/35668/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#action</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=badpeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badpeople</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=endeavor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#endeavor</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#future</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=goodandevil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodandevil</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=goodpeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodpeople</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hope</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humancondition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humancondition</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanrights</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inaction</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inspiration</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=meme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meme</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=optimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#optimism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=pessimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pessimism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=present" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#present</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=struggle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#struggle</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=success" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#success</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=utopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utopia</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=victory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#victory</a>

And certain officers of the crown, and certain other missionaries of ignorance, foppery, servility and slavery, have been most inclined to countenance and increase the same party.</blockquote>John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801) Essay (1765-09-30), “A Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law,” No. 3, Boston Gazette Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/adams-john/75024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/adams-john/75024/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=classwarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#classwarfare</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=powerful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#powerful</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=publiceducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publiceducation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=upperclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#upperclass</a>

Andrew Kuchling"As I sat through the winter, the cold in my bones, I thought about the garlic cloves in the frozen ground, waiting, taking note of the deep freeze that gripped the earth like a vise, counting its passage. Perhaps most instructive of all is that plants know how to wait, how to endure the inhospitable, knowing their time has not yet come but will, and that their flourishing is not a question of whether but when." -- Zoë Schlanger, "The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth"<a href="https://dmv.community/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Zo%C3%ABSchlanger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZoëSchlanger</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a>

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/lincoln-abraham/16262/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Lincoln</a><blockquote>Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of community exists within that relation.</blockquote>Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65) Message (1861-12-03) to Congress, Annual Message (State of the Union) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/lincoln-abraham/16262/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/lincoln-abraham/1626…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=capital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capital</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labor</a>
