Society

We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
- Miller, Henry
Society Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Society

1.
Any relations in a social order will endure, if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality.
Russell, George W.

2.
Society is divided into two classes, the shearers and the shorn.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

3.
Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.
Gandhi, Mahatma

4.
To me, we must learn to spell the word RESPECT. We must respect the rights and properties of our fellowman. And then learn to play the game of life, as well as the game of athletics, according to the rules of society. If you can take that and put it into practice in the community in which you live, then, to me you have won the greatest championship.
Owens, Jesse

5.
Society is held together by our need; we bind it together with legend, myth, coercion, fearing that without it we will be hurled into that void, within which, like the earth before the Word was spoken, the foundations of society are hidden.
Baldwin, James

6.
We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.
Chomsky, Noam

7.
Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.
Wilde, Oscar

8.
Society in shipwreck is comfort to all.
Syrus, Publilius

9.
If everybody is rewarded just for being alive, you get the same sort of effect as you do when you reward every student just for being enrolled. You destroy not only education, you destroy society by giving A's to everyone. This is a philosophical consideration that bothers me very much as I sit in the United States Senate and see the great budget allocations going through.
Hayakawa, S. I.

10.
Society cares for the individual only so far as he is profitable.
Beauvoir, Simone De

11.
We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility.
Carlyle, Thomas

12.
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Miller, Henry

13.
Society is composed of two great classes, those that have more dinners than appetite, and those who have more appetite than dinners.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

14.
Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless.
Skinner, B(urrhus) F(rederic)

15.
The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation.
Custine, Marquis De

16.
A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

17.
Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.
Abbey, Edward

18.
American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it.
Adams, Henry Brooks

19.
Nor was civil society founded merely to preserve the lives of its members; but that they might live well: for otherwise a state might be composed of slaves, or the animal creation... nor is it an alliance mutually to defend each other from injuries, or for a commercial intercourse. But whosoever endeavors to establish wholesome laws in a state, attends to the virtues and vices of each individual who composes it; from whence it is evident, that the first care of him who would found a city, truly deserving that name, and not nominally so, must be to have his citizens virtuous.
Aristotle

20.
Society is like a schoolmaster who estimates boys according to their conformity to a standard that is easiest for running a school.
Sedgwick, Henry

21.
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom -- these are the pillars of society.
Ibsen, Henrik

22.
Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.
Hoffer, Eric

23.
Compare society to a boat. Her progress through the water will not depend upon the exertion of her crew, but upon the exertion devoted to propelling her. This will be lessened by any expenditure of force in fighting among themselves, or in pulling in different directions.
George, Henry

24.
A system in which the two great commandments are to hate your neighbor and to love your neighbor's wife.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

25.
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
Ionesco, Eugene

26.
Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.
Marx, Karl

27.
The greatest difficulty with the world is not its ability to produce, but the unwillingness to share.
Smith, Roy L.

28.
You can tell all you need to about a society from how it treats animals and beaches.
DeFord, Frank

29.
Never speak disrespectfully of Society. Only people who can't get into it do that.
Wilde, Oscar

30.
A civilized society that can no longer feel outrage, can no longer be civilized.

31.
Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.
Hugo, Victor

32.
Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next.
Inge, Dean William R.

33.
To be social is to be forgiving.
Frost, Robert

34.
The principles of the good society call for a concern with an order of being -- which cannot be proved existentially to the sense organs -- where it matters supremely that the human person is inviolable, that reason shall regulate the will, that truth shall prevail over error.
Lippmann, Walter

35.
Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.
Burke, Edmund

36.
It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggression.
Freud, Sigmund

37.
I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.
Bronte, Emily

38.
No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.
Tagore, Rabindranath

39.
Man's characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels. Because the greater, better part of his existence transcends the body, he escapes the body's yoke, but is subject to that of society.
Durkheim, Emile

40.
Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.
Solanis, Valerie

41.
There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Thatcher, Margaret

42.
Sobriety, severity, and self-respect are the foundations of all true sociality.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals. For example, it makes no difference whether a single car drives on the left or on the right. But it makes all the difference when there are many cars!
Minsky, Marvin

44.
Society always consists in the greatest part, of young and foolish persons.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
Society is always trying in some way to grind us down to a single flat surface.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

46.
The happiness of society is the end of government.
Adams, John

47.
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
Society can exist only on the basis that there is some amount of polished lying and that no one says exactly as he thinks.
Lin Yu-tang

49.
Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

50.
Society is a masked ball, where every one hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
