Inspirational Eduardo Galeano quote about each person shining with their own unique lightCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

0 Comments
"Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. Some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire." Eduardo Galeano

"Life begins now -- right now -- not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want." Neale Donald Walsch

"Well now, I believe we are much less stupid than it seems. We are trained not to think. Formulas are drilled into us, which we parrot. But I believe that if the desire for true happiness, for true knowledge were to fully awaken among people in society – what the Enlightenment called with Kant's words: Sapere aude! Dare to know! – and not to consume canned wisdom that someone else has cooked and served, and then even experienced oneself as if I had thought such a thing... I believe that tremendous change could be achieved. People are not that stupid at all. But it is dangerous not to be stupid. Because if you are not stupid, you contradict, criticize, express unpopular opinions. And for safety reasons, it is better to appear stupid." Erich Fromm

Henry Ford quote about enthusiasm, accomplishment, and progressCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the spark in your eye, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will and your energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters, they have fortitude, they have strong qualities. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress. With it there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis." Henry Ford

"As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be found- in himself." Erich Fromm

Quote by Henry Louis Mencken about the true aim of public educationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else." Henry Louis Mencken

Quote on ethical risks of propaganda in education by Edward BernaysCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"In the ethical sense, propaganda bears the same relation to education as to business or politics. It may be abused. It may be used to over-advertise an institution and to create in the public mind artificial values. There can be no absolute guarantee against its misuse." Edward Bernays

"Looking back on a 30-year teaching career full of rewards and prizes, somehow I can't completely believe that I spent my time on earth institutionalized; I can't believe that centralized schooling is allowed to exist at all as a gigantic indoctrination and sorting machine, robbing people of their children. Did it really happen? Was this my life? God help me." John Taylor Gatto

Quote about medical research and drug industry by Dr. Vernon ColemanCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Most patients probably assume that when a doctor proposes to use an established treatment to conquer a disease he will be using a treatment which has been tested, examined and proven. But this is not the case. The savage truth is that most medical research is organised, paid for, commissioned or subsidised by the drug industry (and the food, tobacco and alcohol industries). This type of research is designed, quite simply, to find evidence showing a new product is of commercial value. The companies which commission such research are not terribly bothered about evidence; what they are looking for are conclusions which will enable them to sell their product. Drug company sponsored research is done more to get good reviews than to find out the truth." Dr. Vernon Coleman

Quote by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn about the inexact science of modern medicineCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Despite the tendency of doctors to call modern medicine an ‚inexact science‘, it is more accurate to say there is practically no science in modern medicine at all. Almost everything doctors do is based on a conjecture, a guess, a clinical impression, a whim, a hope, a wish, an opinion or a belief. In short, everything they do is based on anything but solid scientific evidence. Thus, medicine is not a science at all, but a belief system. Beliefs are held by every religion, including the Religion of Modern Medicine." Dr. Robert Mendelsohn

"What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science if the entire structure of medical knowledge is based on the notion that there is an entity called disease that can be driven out once the right drug is found?" John H. Tilden, M.D.

"Today's vaccinations are based on the same flawed scientific experiments as the smallpox vaccination. Yet we are told that science has made progress. With a single scientific paper confirming the vaccination theory, my book "The Business of Fear" would have had to be permanently removed from the market." Dr. med. Gerhard Buchwald

Quote by Steven Spielberg about science fiction warning us about the futureCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true." Steven Spielberg

Quote by Karl Georg Büchner about violence, justice, and fighting against oppressionCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"Young people are accused of using violence. But are we not in a perpetual state of violence? Because we were born and raised in prison, we no longer notice that we are stuck in a hole with our hands and feet chained and a gag in our mouths. What do you call a lawful state? A law that turns the vast majority of citizens into servile cattle in order to satisfy the unnatural needs of an insignificant and corrupt minority? And this law, supported by brute military force and the stupid cleverness of its agents, this law is eternal, brute force, contrary to justice and common sense, and I will fight against it with my mouth and my hands wherever I can." Karl Georg Büchner

Quote by Alexander von Humboldt on freedom, diversity, and the impact of state interference on societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The true purpose of man, not that which is dictated by changing inclinations, but that which is dictated by eternal and unchanging reason, is the highest and most proportionate development of his powers into a whole. Freedom is the first and indispensable condition for this development. (...) It is precisely the diversity that arises from the union of many that is the highest good that society offers, and this diversity is certainly always lost to the extent that the state interferes. It is no longer actually the members of a nation who live together in community, but individual subjects who enter into a relationship with the state, i.e., with the spirit that prevails in its government, and indeed into a relationship in which the superior power of the state already inhibits the free play of forces. Uniform causes have uniform effects. The more the state intervenes, the more similar not only everything that acts becomes, but also everything that is acted upon. (...) But anyone who reasons in this way for others is, not without reason, suspected of misunderstanding humanity and wanting to turn people into machines." Alexander von Humboldt

Quote by Prof. Hans Hermann Hoppe about democracy as mob rule and soft totalitarianism in GermanyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Democracy has nothing to do with freedom. Democracy is mob rule—incited by demagogues and steered in an unstable manner. German democracy in particular displays traits of a soft totalitarianism, marked by pervasive self-censorship that is often scarcely even recognized as such." Prof. Hans Hermann Hoppe

"If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?" Claude Frédéric Bastiat

Quote about vaccine mandates and individual freedom by Prof. Dr. Dr. Frauke Meta RostalskiCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"We must not forget how serious an infringement on fundamental rights a vaccination mandate would be. It does not only interfere with bodily integrity, but also affects an individual’s dignity if vaccination is carried out against their will. Given the significant uncertainty that still exists, I clearly believe that the individual’s interest in freedom outweighs everything else. In this situation, there must be no coercion to get vaccinated." Prof. Dr. Dr. Frauke Meta Rostalski

"Anarchy is all around us. Without it, our world would fall apart. All progress is due to it. All order extends from it. All blessed things that rise above the state of nature are owned to it. The human race thrives only because of the lack of control, not because of it. I’m saying that we need ever more absence of control to make the world a more beautiful place. It is a paradox that we must forever explain." Jeffrey Tucker

This virus will not disappear! We have to live with it! We must now decide whether we want to do so in freedom or slavery! In peace and prosperity or in war and poverty!" Antoine Richard

Ivan Illich quote about medicalization, preventative health care, and becoming a lifelong patientCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The medicalization of early diagnosis not only hampers and discourages preventative health-care but it also trains the patient-to-be to function in the meantime as an acolyte to his doctor. He learns to depend on the physician in sickness and in health. He turns into a life-long patient." Ivan Illich

Quote about the dangers of Modern Medicine by Dr. Robert MendelsohnCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"I no longer believe in Modern Medicine. I believe that despite all the super technology and elite bedside manner... the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine. I believe that Modern Medicine's treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they're often more dangerous than the disease they're designed to treat. I believe more than 90% of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth--doctors, hospitals, drugs and equipment---and the effect on our health would be immediate & beneficial.....Modern Medicine can't survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art nor a science. It's a religion." Dr. Robert Mendelsohn

Ronald Reagan quote about government being the problem and self-governanceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe, that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price." Ronald Reagan

"The Jesuits are the only religious order in the Church of Rome…which has lain under the ban of the [‘White’] Pope, or which has been expelled from any country because of its interference in politics. Hence we may expect to find that to obtain political power forms a main feature in the plans of the Society [of Jesus – i.e., the Jesuit Order]." Margaret Anna Cusack

Quote by Edward Mandell House about control, registration, and social insuranceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"[Very] soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency. Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges. They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor or to this fraud which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America." Edward Mandell House

"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom."

"Through the artifices of banking and monetary policy one can achieve only a temporary illusion of improvement, which must ultimately lead to an even more severe catastrophe. For the longer this artificial boom is sustained by the creation of additional credit, the greater the damage inflicted on general prosperity by the use of such measures."

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around these banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson
