Quotes:
The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the centre of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.

Tyndall, I must remain plain Michael Faraday to the last; and let me now tell you, that if I accepted the honour which the Royal Society desires to confer upon me, I would not answer for the integrity of my intellect for a single year. (On being offered the presidency of the Royal Society)

View quotes by William Bernbach
Society exists for the benefit of its members, not the members for the benefit of society.
View quotes by Herbert Spencer

The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together.
View quotes by Eric Hoffer
The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves, as far as is possible in the society of today, that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.
View quotes by Simone Weil
If individuality has no play, society does not advance; if individuality breaks out of all bounds, society perishes
View quotes by Thomas Huxley

We are shifting from a managerial society to an entrepreneurial society.
View quotes by John Naisbitt
This is a rumour-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation
View quotes by Johnny Depp
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
View quotes by George Orwell
I have a dream, that one day all three of my children will one day, grow up in a society where they are not judged by their race, but by their character.
View quotes by Martin Luther King Jr
Far from being the basis of the good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all our discontents.
View quotes by Sir Edmund Leach
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

View quotes by Thomas Hobbes
