Motivational Quotes
Evolution
Disturbances in society are never more fearful than when those who are stirring up the trouble can use the pretext of religion to mask their true designs.
Best Quotes about Evolution
God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed -- that is the meaning of evolution.
Greene, Graham
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
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
Independence in the end is the fruit of injustice.
Voltaire
Riots are the voices of the unheard.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Every revolutionary ends up by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic.
Camus, Albert
The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
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
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
Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
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
Most revolutionaries are potential Tories, because they imagine that everything can be put right by altering the shape of society; once that change is effected, as it sometimes is, they see no need for any other.
Orwell, George
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
Whether a revolutions succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
Heine, Heinrich
Revolution begins with the self, in the self.
Bambara, Toni Cade
The excessive increase of anything causes a reaction in the opposite direction.
Plato
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
Two million years from now the scientists can start a row by claming that the creatures of that period descended from us.
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
It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.
Mencken, H. L.
Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages.
It is easier to run a revolution than a government.
Marcos, Ferdinand E.
I was probably the only revolutionary referred to as cute.
Hoffman, Abbie
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
Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.
Nkrumah, Kwame
I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.
Twain, Mark
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
When people contend for their liberty they seldom get anything for their victory, but new masters.
Halifax, Edward F.
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
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
We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.
Wald, George
The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty.
Guizot, Francois (Pierre Guillaume)
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
Disturbances in society are never more fearful than when those who are stirring up the trouble can use the pretext of religion to mask their true designs.
Diderot, Denis
In this Revolution no plans have been written for retreat.
King Jr. Martin Luther
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
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
One of the stupidest theories of Western life.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
The worst of revolutions is a restoration.
Fox, Charles James
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
Revolutions are always verbose.
Trotsky, Leon
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
After listening to a lecture on evolution by a science professor, a student wrote a poem and titled it The Amazing Professor. The poem read: Once I was a tadpole when I began to begin. Then I was a frog with my tail tucked in. Next I was a monkey on a coconut tree. Now I am a doctor with a Ph.D.
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
Aristotle
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
All revolutions devour their own children.
Rohm, Ernst
The revolutionary spirit is mighty convenient in this, that it frees one from all scruples as regards ideas. Its hard absolute optimism is repulsive to my mind by the menace of fanaticism and intolerance it contains. No doubt one should smile at these things; but, imperfect Esthete, I am no better Philosopher. All claim to special righteousness awakens in me that scorn and anger from which a philosophical mind should be free.
Conrad, Joseph
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.
One revolution is like one cocktail, it just gets you organized for the next.
Rogers, Will
Revolution today is taken for granted, and in consequence becomes rather dull.
Lewis, Wyndham
