“It is often asserted that woman owes all the advantages of the position she occupies to-day to Christianity, but the facts of history show that the Christian Church has done nothing specifically for woman's elevation. In the general march of civilization, she has necessarily reaped the advantage of man's higher development, but we must not claim for Christianity all that has been achieved by science, discovery and invention.” MenHas BeensDoneFactsShowsChristianChurchChristianityAtheismPositionDevelopmentHigherCivilizationDiscoveryAdvantageClaimsPositive AtheismInventionMarchElevationChristian ChurchDiscovery And Invention Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation; it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function, produced by a certain arrest of sexual development. Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals, several of the greatest men among them (Plato, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc.). It is a great injustice to persecute homosexuality as a crime--and a cruelty, too.

“There are some whose Karma is such as to enable them to develop the purely spiritual faculties first of all -- to overleap the astral plane for the time, as it were; and when afterwards they make its acquaintance they have, if their spiritual development has been perfect, the immense advantage of dipping into it from above, with the aid of a spiritual insight which cannot be deceived and a spiritual strength which nothing can resist.” IfsFirstsHas BeensSpiritualPerfectDevelopmentAdvantageInsightAidsKarmaPlanesFacultyImmenseDeceivedAcquaintanceSpiritual DevelopmentSpiritual StrengthSpiritual Insight Author:Charles Webster Leadbeater

“I do think it's important to be smiling and not make it all about business. You'll look back and regret it later, if you don't take advantage of your youth and your ability to travel.

“Our company has only been active in Beijing and Shanghai, two very market-dominated cities. This was an advantage. Land is purchased here in public auctions, in a transparent way.

“Socialist economy cannot reject the huge advantages of the world division of labor: on the contrary, it will carry it to the highest development. But in practise, it is not a question of the future socialist society, with an established internal equilibrium, but of the given technically and culturally backward country which in the interests of industrialisation and collectivization is forced to export as much as possible in order to import as much as possible.” WorldCountryOrderGivenInterestEconomyHugeDevelopmentHighestAdvantageLaborContraryInternalsRejectsDivisionSocialistEquilibriumImportsPractiseDivision Of LaborSocialist Economy Author:Leon Trotsky
