I think you still have a problem here when you're going and you're looking not just that Trump is winning, but he's winning in a broad swath of voters.

P. G. WodehouseWe are underbred and low-lived and illiterate; and in this respect I confess I do not make any very broad distinction between theilliterateness of my townsman who cannot read at all and the illiterateness of him who has learned to read only what is for children and feeble intellects. We should be as good as the worthies of antiquity, but partly by first knowing how good they were.

John BrabenderUnder our institutions the only way to perfect the Government is to perfect the individual citizen. It is necessary to reach the mind and soul of the individual.

Ralph FiennesThe "family" has clearly emerged anew in the late 1970s as a central subject for discussion, debate, research and writing in bothscholarly and popular arenas.

Julian HuxleyHaving worked on climate crisis for almost 40 years now, I've seen good days and bad days. And through all of that time, the general trajectory has been it's getting worse, it's getting worse. But in the last ten to 20 years, there's a second development; the solutions are more and more, and more available. So having this broad overview that I've developed over a long period of time, I now see the evidence that the solutions are available. We're gonna do this.
Al GoreDespite current ads and slogans, the world doesn't change one person at a time.

Rather than worry about critical mass, our work is to foster critical connections. We don't need to convince large numbers of people to change; instead, we need to connect with kindred spirits. Through these relationships, we will develop the new knowledge, practices, courage and commitment that lead to broad-based change.

Jeff BridgesWhen there's something that impacts a family member or friend, that is difficult for them, you want to do what you can to help.

If you have compassion in your heart, you just care.
Queen LatifahYou cannot do without one specialty. You must have some base-line to measure the work and attainments of others. For a general view of the subject, study the history of the sciences.
