Inspirational quote about Karl Marx by Henry HazlittCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects - his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity." Henry Hazlitt
Inspirational time management quote by Horace Jackson Brown Jr.Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." Horace Jackson Brown Jr.
Inspirational quote about the power of thoughts and mindset by Prentice MulfordCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"When you say to yourself, 'I am going to have a pleasant visit or a pleasant journey,' you are literally sending elements and forces ahead of your body that will arrange things to make your visit or journey pleasant. When before the visit or the journey or the shopping trip you are in a bad humour, or fearful or apprehensive of something unpleasant, you are sending unseen agencies ahead of you which will make some kind of unpleasantness. Our thoughts, or in other words, our state of mind, is ever at work 'fixing up' things good or bad in advance." Prentice Mulford
Epiktet quote about learning, reflection, and becoming a more thoughtful person through booksCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents." Epiktet
Quote by Antony Cyril Sutton about herd instinct and gold as asset of last resortCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Those entrapped by the herd instinct are drowned in the deluges of history. But there are always the few who observe, reason, and take precautions, and thus escape the flood. For these few gold has been the asset of last resort." Antony Cyril Sutton
Inspirational quote about living for others by UnbekanntCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is...Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you." Unbekannt
Inspirational quotes by Leonardo da Vinci on art, science, and lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. Learning never exhausts the mind. Art is never finished, only abandoned. Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art. It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death. Water is the driving force of all nature.”" Leonardo da Vinci
Inspirational quote by Wolfram Zeuner about the importance of failure and imagination in scienceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If we fail to find any of this—even at the highest energies we can reach—then we’ll have to do some serious rethinking and essentially start over from scratch. Which, of course, is exciting in its own way. Science is always exciting: if you don’t find anything, you simply have to come up with something new. Imagination is always the foundation of science." Wolfram Zeuner
Quote by Adolf Hitler discussing the Jesuit Order and the Catholic Church's organizational hierarchyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Above all, I learned from the Jesuit Order. Incidentally, Lenin did too, as far as I remember. There has never been anything greater in the world than the hierarchical order of the Catholic Church. I have applied much of it directly to the organization of my party. Almost two thousand years of existence amid changing fortunes—that means something. [...] The Catholic Church is exemplary above all because of its extraordinarily clever tactics and knowledge of human nature, because of its wise incorporation of human weaknesses into the leadership of the faithful." Adolf Hitler
Quote by J.E.C. Shepherd about Jesuit Order expulsions for political intrigue between 1555 and 1931Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] was expelled from at least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversion plots against the welfare of the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [Thomas J. Campbell]. …Practically every instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and inciting to political insurrection." J.E.C. Shepherd
Quote by Hermann Göring on leadership and warCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Well, of course, the people don't want war. (...) But ultimately, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always easy to get the people to go along with it, whether it is a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, a parliament, or a communist dictatorship." Hermann Göring
Quote by Vera Lengsfeld about coronavirus turning citizens fearful for a climate-friendly futureCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"However, the coronavirus seems to have provided the perfect whip to turn responsible citizens into fearful people who allow themselves to be beaten into a climate-friendly future as ‘human material’, as the communists and National Socialists called it." Vera Lengsfeld
Quote about beetle-like men in the Ministries by George OrwellCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes." George Orwell
Noam Chomsky quote about media serving state and corporate power interestsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The media serve the interests of state and corporate power, which are closely interlinked, framing their reporting and analysis in a manner supportive of established privilege and limiting debate and discussion accordingly." Noam Chomsky
Quotation by William E. Borah on the importance of a free press and liberty of speech in democracyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Without an unfettered press, without liberty of speech, all of the outward forms and structures of free institutions are a sham, a pretense — the sheerest mockery. If the press is not free; if speech is not independent and untrammeled; if the mind is shackled or made impotent through fear, it makes no difference under what form of government you live, you are a subject and not a citizen" William E. Borah
Quote by Eric Alterman about the need for comprehensive and understandable news to hold government accountableCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"To become informed and hold government accountable, the general public needs to obtain news that is comprehensive yet interesting and understandable, that conveys facts and outcomes, not cosmetic images and airy promises. But that is not what the public demands." Eric Alterman
Quote by Donald Trump about Elon Musk's subsidized projectsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, “drop to your knees and beg,” and he would have done it…" Donald Trump
Quote by Rose Wilder Lane about the nature of State, Government, and freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The picture of the economic revolution as the final step to freedom was false as soon as I asked myself that question. For, in actual fact, The State, The Government, cannot exist. They are abstract concepts, useful enough in their place, as the theory of minus numbers is useful in mathematics. In actual living experience, however, it is impossible to subtract anything from nothing; when a purse is empty, it is empty, it cannot contain a minus ten dollars. On this same plane of actuality, no State, no Government, exists. What does in fact exist is a man, or a few men, in power over many men." Rose Wilder Lane
Quote on the critique of the Standard Model of Cosmology by Bjørn Ekeberg and Louis MarmetCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Today, there is increasing critical attention on some problematic parts of the Standard Model of Cosmology. Dark matter, dark energy and inflation theory are parts of the standard theoretical framework that remain empirically unverified - and where new observations prompt ever more questions. However, little questioning is heard of the many unverifiable core assumptions that make up our model of the universe." Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet
Quote by Yuval Noah Harari about the relationship between science, power, and truthCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I mean science, as an institution, is interested in gaining the power — to gain control over the world — to be able to gain control over diseases, over the human body, over the environment, over rivers and animals and forests. You have to submit a grant to somebody to fund, it all comes down to money, in many cases. It’s also an institution- If you’re a freelance scientist, you just explore the truth. Okay. But in an institution, a university, you need money to finance so you submit a research grant, and you have to convince the authority not of the truth. You have to convince the authority that what you want to do will somehow make us more powerful. Will somehow enable us to produce a new weapon. Will somehow enable us to produce more food. Will somehow enable us to gain control over previously uncontrollable, or deadly disease. And this is really what gets the money. Of course, it means to also be truth to some extent. Does it work and who wants it?" Yuval Noah Harari
Quote about a master conspiracy linking Capitalism and Communism by G. Edward GriffinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"There is much evidence indicating that the Capitalistic and Communist conspiracies BOTH are directed by a single master conspiracy which may have continuity with the Order of the Illuminati which was founded 200 years ago." G. Edward Griffin
Quote by Harald Schmidt about reading FAZ on paper and other newspapers onlineCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I buy the FAZ on paper - and read NZZ, Spiegel and Bild online before the paywall. But I am just as informed as if I had subscribed to it. When I see the headline and the author, I already know what the text says. I also know who among the authors is currently behind with their alimony payments and therefore has to write in a certain direction." Harald Schmidt
Quote about national currency control and sovereignty by William Lyon Mackenzie KingCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile." William Lyon Mackenzie King
