Society cannot continue to disable themselves through their need to categorize people or make assumptions as to another individual's abilities.

But if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there by no fault of their own I don't think you have a heart. We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society.

Through their own actions customers can hold companies responsible to higher standards of social responsibility. Through collective action they can leverage their dollars to combat the force of those investors who myopically pursue profits at the expense of the rest of society.

I had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn't have. My mother was a schoolteacher and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society.

Prison continues on those who are entrusted to it a work begun elsewhere which the whole of society pursues on each individual through innumerable mechanisms of discipline.

The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.

The only society I like is rough and tough and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

When a nation goes down or a society perishes one condition may always be found they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.

I never leaf through a copy of National Geographic without realizing how lucky we are to live in a society where it is traditional to wear clothes.

Ascetics and fakirs come to mitigate human suffering to heal us and lead us on the path. They put up with criticism they go through many worldly trials. Some of them have even become martyrs for our sake. But they have done all this with a smile and with gratitude to God. Hence sacrifice is a great virtue.

No one is so completely disenchanted with the world or knows it so thoroughly or is so utterly disgusted with it that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it.

I just smile. And they - my opponents don't like it when I smile at them. They think I'm playing or something. But - like I smile throughout the whole fight. Sometimes I'll be throwing combinations and I just smile and stick my tongue out at them.

A game one of my sisters will play with me in my first year of being alive is called Good Baby Bad Baby. This consists of being told I am a good baby until I smile and laugh then being told I am a bad baby until I burst into tears. This training will stand me in good stead all through my life.

The coolest part about seeing a girl wear something comfortable is the smile that you can just feel coming through from inside her.

When onstage I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves - and maybe a smile.

I have found that a smile and a stick will carry you through all right and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is the smile that does the trick.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

We must always emphasize research and development of science and mathematics and I can think of no better way to achieve this than through our future in space.

How thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler methods which at the same time assist in understanding earlier theories and in casting aside some more complicated developments.

That the way to achieve higher standards of living for all is through science and technology taking advantage of better tools methods and organization.

Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible it is terribly exciting.

Science already contained all that was necessary if you just brought it out.

Now Venus is an extremely hostile environment and as such presents a lot of challenges for a science fiction author who wants to create life there. However as I began to research it more thoroughly I found myself intrigued by the possibilities the world offers.

Except in very narrow cases where there's breakthrough science that needs patent production worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can't out iterate someone who is trying to copy you you're toast anyway.
