"What does it mean for a painter to paint in the manner of So-and-So or to actually imitate someone else? What's wrong with that? On the contrary, it's a good idea. You should constantly try to paint like someone else. But the thing is, you can't! You would like to. You try. But it turns out to be a botch... And it's at the very moment you make a botch of it that you're yourself." Pablo Picasso

"You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions.

Russell Simmons quote about hard work, ideas, and achieving successCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The pain that's created by avoiding hard work is actually much worse than any pain created from the actual work itself. Because if you don't begin to work on those ideas that God has blessed you with, they will become stagnant inside of you and eventually begin to eat away at you. You might seem OK on the outside, but inside you will be ill from not getting those ideas out of your heart and into the world. Stalling leads to sickness. But taking steps, even baby steps, always leads to success." Russell Simmons

"Dare what no one dares, speak what no one says, think what no one thinks, do what no one does. If no one says yes, you should say yes; if no one says no, then say no. When everyone doubts, dare to believe; when everyone joins in, stand alone. Where everyone praises, have doubts; where everyone mocks, do not mock; where everyone is stingy, dare to give; where all is dark, bring light!" Lothar Zenett

Inspirational quote by Don Pettit about the future of human space exploration including the Moon, Mars, and beyondCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"I'd go to the moon in a Nanosecond, but the Problem is that we no longer have that technology to do that anymore, we used to have it, but we destroyed it and it's a painful process to build it back again, but going to Mars should be one of the next series of steps that humans do. The first step should be going back to the Moon for a number of technical reasons and exploration reasons. And then after that Mars, maybe high orbit in Venus atmosphere maybe going to Europa. There's all kinds of targets to go to, places of interest in our solar system. The only limit to human future is in our own imagination." Don Pettit

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

"Children do not learn in school; they are babysat. It takes maybe 50 hours to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. After that, students can teach themselves. Mainly what school does is to keep the children off the streets and out of the job market." John Taylor Gatto

"A recently reprinted memoir by Frederick Douglass has footnotes explaining what words like 'arraigned,' 'curried' and 'exculpate' meant, and explaining who Job was. In other words, this man who was born a slave and never went to school educated himself to the point where his words now have to be explained to today's expensively under-educated generation." Thomas Sowell

Inspirational quote by Bertrand Russell about truth, love, and toleranceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say…I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet." Bertrand Russell

"Is it not High Time for the People of this Country explicitly to declare, whether they will be Freemen or Slaves? It is an important Question which ought to be decided. It concerns us more than any Thing in this Life. The Salvation of our Souls is interested in the Event: For wherever Tyranny is establish'd, Immorality of every Kind comes in like a Torrent. It is in the Interest of Tyrants to reduce the People to Ignorance and Vice." Samuel Adams

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

"Once we realize that government doesn't work, we will stop dreaming that this or that social problem can be solved by passing a law - or by creating a new government program - or by electing someone who will make Washington more efficient or cost-conscious." Harry Browne

Hannah Arendt quote about power and collective actionCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"Power corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together. When we say of somebody that he is 'in power' we actually refer to his being empowered by a certain number of people to act in their name. The moment the group, from which the power originated to begin with ... disappears, 'his power' also vanishes." Hannah Arendt

Rudolf Virchow quote about medicine, social science, politics, and public healthCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale. Medicine, as a social science, as the science of human beings, has the obligation to point out problems and to attempt their theoretical solution: the politician, the practical anthropologist, must find the means for their actual solution. The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and social problems fall to a large extent within their jurisdiction." Rudolf Virchow

"Who wants good people in government? Good people should be in the private sector. Helping us out, helping themselves out in the private sector. We want schmoes in government. We want people who can't find the doorknob. Why waste productive people, as well as looting the taxpayer?" Murray Rothbard

"An underpaid man is a customer reduced in purchasing power. He cannot buy. Business depression is caused by weakened purchasing power. Purchasing power is weakened by uncertainty or insufficiency of income. The cure of business depression is through purchasing power, and the source of purchasing power is wages." Henry Ford

Quote by Smedley Darlington Butler revealing the harsh truth about war and profiteeringCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. The was the "war to end wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one told them that dollars and cents were the real reason. No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United State patents. They were just told it was to be a "glorious adventure". Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month! All that they had to do for this munificent sum was to leave their dear ones behind, give up their jobs, lie in swampy trenches, eat canned willy (when they could get it) and kill and kill and kill...and be killed”" Smedley Darlington Butler

Quote by Markus Krall explaining the dangers of Modern Monetary Theory and money creationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"There was this wonderful book called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and there's a chapter in it where there's a planet where another planet sends all of its lunatics to do no more damage at home. And on this lunatic planet, the Keynesian economists have come to power and decided that they can abolish the scarcity of goods by abolishing the scarcity of money. They then declared the leaves of trees to be money, which of course immediately led to hyperinflation. This was then countered with a forest defoliation program. And let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, some of these "foliage faction" have made it here. They're sitting in the central banking worlds today, in the Governing Council of the ECB and at the Fed, and they're telling us with their Modern Monetary Theory that it's possible in all seriousness to overcome the scarcity of goods by abolishing the scarcity of money and being able to buy everything, anything, everything, if we just print enough money." Markus Krall

"If government manages to establish paper tickets or bank credit as money, as equivalent to gold grams or ounces, then the government, as dominant money-supplier, becomes free to create money costlessly and at will. As a result, this 'inflation' of the money supply destroys the value of the dollar or pound, drives up prices, cripples economic calculation, and hobbles and seriously damages the workings of the market economy." Murray Rothbard

"The marketplace is a wondrous institution. It harnesses the self-interest of each of us and puts it to work for the benefit of all. And it does so without intruding upon our desires, our privacy, or our freedom. It is regulation by reality, not by coercion." Harry Browne

"Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. They are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of God, or civilization or progress. But all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars." Eduardo Galeano
