“They say that each generation inherits from those that have gone before; if this were so there would be no limit to man's improvements or to his power of reaching perfection. But he is very far from receiving intact that storehouse of knowledge which the centuries have piled up before him; he may perfect some inventions, but in others, he lags behind the originators, and a great many inventions have been lost entirely. What he gains on the one hand, he loses on the other.” IfsMenMayHas BeensHandsWould BeLostLosesPerfectBehindsGoneGenerationsCenturyLimitsGainsPerfectionImprovementInventionGreat MenReachingReceivingLag Author:Eugene Delacroix
“At this season of the year we draw close to Good Friday. All the eyes of the world will turn back to "a green hill far away, without a city wall," where the founder of Christianity was crucified by those forces of selfishness, greed, and lust for gain that are still at work in the world. It seems to me that unless we do something in Canada about the question of the export of war materials there will be another crucifixion - the crucifixion of a generation of young men, crucified upon a cross of nickel.” MenWorldYearsStillsWarSeemsEyeYoungTurnsForceCitiesChristianityGenerationsMaterialsWallDrawsGainsCrossesSeasonsGreenGreedLustHillsSelfishnessYoung ManCanadaFar AwayFoundersFridayCrucifixionNickelsGood FridayCity WallsGreen Hills Author:Tommy Douglas
“Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.” PeopleWayHas BeensTwoWarStatesRealityGovernmentReligionPoliticsSidesCommunityLeadershipSimpleVisionClassTakenClearViolenceGenerationsPolicyPureEthicsGainsAdvantageOrganizationVictimMajorityStrategyUnityKillingHuman RightsIraqTerrorismTerroristIdeologyBordersCivil WarTwo ThingsIslamicAlsTerritoryForeign PolicySyriaStrifeBoth SidesSlaughterAl QaedaIsilIslamic TerrorismTaken Advantage Author:Barack Obama
“We continually make decisions in private which affect the commonweal, as the ecologists (to take but one example) have shown us. When I keep my house warmer than it needs to be, I consume fuel which might help someone else keep warm, or keep a job. When the food I eat is high on the protein chain I contribute to a maldistribution of protein around the world. When I teach my children to be primarily concerned with private gain, I diminish the ranks of public leadership in the rising generation.” WorldNeedsChildrenHelpingMightJobsHouseDecisionTeachGenerationsExampleGainsConcernedEnvironmentalWarmChainsAround The WorldMy ChildrenRisingFuelSustainabilityDiminishProtein Author:Parker J.

“I think that because of YouTube, because of MySpace, because of the digital domain that we have on the Internet, the younger generation is much more open to information. I think it's so much easier for them to gain information and trade information, and they have become more aware. In some cases, more aware than their own parents and adults, as to what's going on in the world. I find that really intriguing and interesting, and I think there is a brewing of a whole new generation of activists coming.” ThinkingWorldWholeParentInterestingCasesGenerationsInformationInternetEasierAdultsGainsTradeDigitalActivistDomainYoutubeIntriguingNew GenerationYounger GenerationBrewing Author:Serj Tankian
