Evolution

It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.
- Mencken, H. L.
Evolution Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evolution

1.
Riots are the voices of the unheard.
King Jr. Martin Luther

2.
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

3.
Every revolutionary ends up by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic.
Camus, Albert

4.
One revolution is like one cocktail, it just gets you organized for the next.
Rogers, Will

5.
A revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle between the future and the past.
Castro, Fidel

6.
The worst of revolutions is a restoration.
Fox, Charles James

7.
The question is this -- Is man an ape or an angel? My Lord, I am on the side of the angels. I repudiate with indignation and abhorrence these new fanged theories.
Disraeli, Benjamin

8.
When people contend for their liberty they seldom get anything for their victory, but new masters.
Halifax, Edward F.

9.
The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
Greer, Germaine

10.
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
Walker, Alice

11.
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

12.
In this Revolution no plans have been written for retreat.
King Jr. Martin Luther

13.
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
Aristotle

14.
A man may build himself a throne of bayonets, but he can't sit on it.
Inge, Dean William R.

15.
Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.
Nkrumah, Kwame

16.
To be a revolutionary you have to be human being. You have to care about people who have no power.
Fonda, Jane

17.
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

18.
Revolutions are not made for export.
Khrushchev, Nikita

19.
All revolutions devour their own children.
Rohm, Ernst

20.
More and more, revolution has found itself delivered into the hands of its bureaucrats and doctrinaires on the one hand, and to the enfeebled and bewildered masses on the other.
Camus, Albert

21.
All the evolution we know of proceeds from the vague to the definite.
Peirce, Charles Sanders

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

23.
Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages.

24.
On the first day of a revolution he is a treasure; on the second he ought to be shot.

25.
Although a system may cease to exist in the legal sense or as a structure of power, its values (or anti-values), its philosophy, its teachings remain in us. They rule our thinking, our conduct, our attitude to others. The situation is a demonic paradox: we have toppled the system but we still carry its genes.
Kapuscinski, Ryszard

26.
If you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag, wash it.
Thomas, Norman

27.
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

28.
The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.
Adams, John

29.
We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.
Wald, George

30.
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

31.
True revolutionaries are like God -- they create the world in their own image. Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.
Harrison, Barbara Grizzuti

32.
Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts -- it's what you do with what you have left.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

33.
The pre-human creature from which man evolved was unlike any other living thing in its malicious viciousness toward its own kind. Humanization was not a leap forward but a groping toward survival.
Hoffer, Eric

34.
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

35.
Whether a revolutions succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
Heine, Heinrich

36.
I feel my belief in sacrifice and struggle getting stronger. I despise the kind of existence that clings to the miserly trifles of comfort and self-interest. I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.
Castro, Fidel

37.
Evolution is gaining the psychic zones of the world...life, being and ascent of consciousness, could not continue to advance indefinitely along its line without transforming itself in depth. The being who is the object of his own reflection, in consequence, of that very doubling back upon himself becomes in a flash able to raise himself to a new sphere.
Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

38.
People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth.
Vaneigem, Raoul

39.
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

40.
Thinkers prepare the revolution and bandits carry it out.
Azuela, Mariano

41.
Men are made uneasy; they flinch; they cannot bear the sudden light; a general restlessness supervenes; the face of society is disturbed, or perhaps convulsed; old interests and old beliefs have been destroyed before new ones have been created. These symptoms are the precursors of revolution; they have preceded all the great changes through which the world has passed.
Buckle, Henry Thomas

42.
Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.
Bierce, Ambrose

43.
It is almost never when a state of things is the most detestable that it is smashed, but when, beginning to improve, it permits men to breathe, to reflect, to communicate their thoughts with each other, and to gauge by what they already have the extent of their rights and their grievances. The weight, although less heavy, seems then all the more unbearable.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

44.
In a revolution, as in a novel. the most difficult part to invent is the end.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

45.
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

46.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
Adams, John

47.
History teaches us that the great revolutions aren't started by people who are utterly down and out, without hope and vision. They take place when people begin to live a little better -- and when they see how much yet remains to be achieved.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

48.
Independence in the end is the fruit of injustice.
Voltaire

49.
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

50.
Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
