Evolution

We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.
- Hoffer, Eric
Evolution Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evolution

1.
It is disturbing to discover in oneself these curious revelations of the validity of the Darwinian theory. If it is true that we have sprung from the ape, there are occasions when my own spring appears not to have been very far.
Skinner, Cornelia Otis

2.
The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces -- in nature, in society, in man himself.
Trotsky, Leon

3.
A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.
Zedong, Mao

4.
We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.
Reade, W. Winwood

5.
If you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag, wash it.
Thomas, Norman

6.
No one makes a revolution by himself; and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.
Sand, George

7.
One revolution is like one cocktail, it just gets you organized for the next.
Rogers, Will

8.
The more there are riots, the more repressive actin will take place, and the more we face the danger of a right-wing takeover and eventually a fascist society.
King Jr. Martin Luther

9.
I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.
Twain, Mark

10.
He that goeth about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well governed as they ought to be shall never want attentive and favorable hearers.
Hooker, Richard

11.
Organic life, we are told, has developed gradually from the protozoon to the philosopher, and this development, we are assured, is indubitably an advance. Unfortunately it is the philosopher, not the protozoon, who gives us this assurance.
Russell, Bertrand

12.
The more specific idea of Evolution now reached is -- a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.
Spencer, Herbert

13.
Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages.

14.
I began revolution with 82 men. If I had [To] do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.
Castro, Fidel

15.
If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

16.
Revolution begins with the self, in the self.
Bambara, Toni Cade

17.
The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man... not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.
Genet, Jean

18.
An extra-terrestrial philosopher, who had watched a single youth up to the age of twenty-one and had never come across any other human being, might conclude that it is the nature of human beings to grow continually taller and wiser in an indefinite progress towards perfection; and this generalization would be just as well founded as the generalization which evolutionists base upon the previous history of this planet.
Russell, Bertrand

19.
Revolution, in order to be creative, cannot do without either a moral or metaphysical rule to balance the insanity of history.
Camus, Albert

20.
The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty.
Guizot, Francois (Pierre Guillaume)

21.
We have wasted our spirit in the regions of the abstract and general just as the monks let it wither in the world of prayer and contemplation.
Herzen, Alexander

22.
The excessive increase of anything causes a reaction in the opposite direction.
Plato

23.
Every revolutionary ends up by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic.
Camus, Albert

24.
The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

25.
When people contend for their liberty they seldom get anything for their victory, but new masters.
Halifax, Edward F.

26.
Normal life cannot sustain revolutionary attitudes for long.
Djilas, Milovan

27.
The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
Hugo, Victor

28.
The main effect of a real revolution is perhaps that it sweeps away those who do not know how to wish, and brings to the front men with insatiable appetites for action, power and all that the world has to offer.
Hoffer, Eric

29.
Thinkers prepare the revolution and bandits carry it out.
Azuela, Mariano

30.
Riots are the voices of the unheard.
King Jr. Martin Luther

31.
Revolutions are not made for export.
Khrushchev, Nikita

32.
We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.
Wald, George

33.
The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement -- but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.
Conrad, Joseph

34.
The dead have been awakened -- shall I sleep? The world's at war with tyrants -- shall I crouch? the harvest's ripe -- and shall I pause to reap? I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch; Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear, its echo in my heart.
Byron, Lord

35.
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

36.
Darwinian man, though well-behaved, at best is only a monkey shaved.
Gilbert, W. S.

37.
Clemency is also a revolutionary measure.
Desmoulins, Camille

38.
I was probably the only revolutionary referred to as cute.
Hoffman, Abbie

39.
Revolutions are always verbose.
Trotsky, Leon

40.
A great revolution is never the fault of the people, but of the government.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
All revolutions devour their own children.
Rohm, Ernst

42.
You said, They're harmless dreamers and they're loved by the people. -- What, I asked you, is harmless about a dreamer, and what, I asked you, is harmless about the love of the people? Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams.
Williams, Tennessee

43.
Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.
Aristotle

44.
On the first day of a revolution he is a treasure; on the second he ought to be shot.

45.
One of the stupidest theories of Western life.
Muggeridge, Malcolm

46.
So they united, and the Communist revolution took the chain from their legs and wound it around their necks.
Bonom, Samuel

47.
It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.
Mencken, H. L.

48.
In every revolution there intrude, at the side of its true agents, men of a different stamp; some of them survivors of and devotees to past revolutions, without insight into the present movement, but preserving popular influence by their known honesty and courage, or by the sheer force of tradition; others mere brawlers, who, by dint of repeating year after year the same set of stereotyped declamations against the government of the day, have sneaked into the reputation of revolutionists of the first water They are an unavoidable evil: with time they are shaken off.
Marx, Karl

49.
Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

50.
Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.
Lorenz, Konrad
