"For the last 33 years, I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: if today was the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm going to do today? And whenever the answer was „no“ for too many days, I knew I had to change something." Steve Jobs

"The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities." Benjamin E. Mays
Inspirational quote about the power of good by Prentice MulfordCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The power generated of ten minds for good is superior to that of ten thousand minds acting on a lower motive. But it is a silent power. It moves in mysterious ways. It is noiseless. It makes no show of open opposition. It uses no methods of effort through tongue or arm or physical force." Prentice Mulford
Quote by Anita Hofmann about the true purpose of education and citizenshipCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"This is about: What is actually best for children and young people? And how do they get their education and how do they become citizens? Because that is also the goal of our schooling, that I am an educated person who can also fulfill my civic duties and for that I need appropriate behavior and I learn that not only explicitly through knowledge, but also implicitly by practicing a state on a small scale, namely at school." Anita Hofmann

"Your future depends on the goodwill of a small elite. Maybe there is goodwill for a few decades. But in a time of crisis – like climate catastrophe – it would be very tempting, and easy, to toss you overboard." Yuval Noah Harari

/
"More than 50 years of elite democracy have shown us where this road leads. It is the path of destruction. The destruction of community, the destruction of the idea of community, the destruction of life by the millions, the destruction of cultural and civilizational substance - especially in the Third World - and the destruction of our ecological foundations. The beneficiaries of this destruction have no reason to change this path of destruction. The necessary energy for change can only come from below - from us. That is our task and that is our responsibility." Professor Dr. Rainer Mausfeld

"We need to take a deeper look at politics. This is where most people stop; they only see the political ideologies. What they don’t understand is that these things are not just political mentalities—they are religions. I want to say this unequivocally: Nazism and Communism are religions. This is something that is very much not known by the general public. They don’t see it that way, they don’t view it that way, because they’ve been conditioned not to see it that way. But make no mistake—behind these political ideologies lies religion. What I want to get to is the religion that they share in common, because they have a common root religion, and that’s the thesis of this whole presentation. Nazism and Communism are political masks that are presented to the public as diametric opposites, but at their ideological core lies a common root religion which created and controls them both as systems of human slavery. That’s the whole takeaway of this entire body of research. You have to understand that there is a common puppeteer hand that ultimately controls both of these political masks, and that is a religious system. It is a covert religious system, but it is a religious system nonetheless." Mark Passio
George Orwell quote about historical falsification and totalitarianismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." George Orwell
Quote by Max Weber on violence, power, and political communitiesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"All political entities are violent entities. But the type and degree of the use or threat of external violence against other similar entities plays a specific role in the structure and fate of political communities. Not every political entity is equally "expansive" in the sense that it seeks power externally, i.e., making force available for the purpose of acquiring political power over other territories and communities, whether in the form of incorporation or [of] dependency. The political entities are thus, to varying degrees, outwardly turned entities of violence." Max Weber
H. L. Mencken quote about the most dangerous man to any governmentCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable." H. L. Mencken
