“The Indian economy grew at 5.5 percent, but if you look at the last 30 years - for example, 1960 to 1985 - the progress made by East Asian countries was phenomenal. In a single generation they had been able to transform the character of their economy. They were able to get rid of chronic poverty.” IfsYearsLooksMadeCountryCharacterAbleLastsPovertyEconomyProgressGenerationsExampleGrewPercentEastIndianAsian1960sPhenomenalAsian Countries Author:Manmohan Singh
“There are certainly good examples of incredibly brilliant, beautiful music that has been made commercially available and sold everywhere.

“If it is possible to have a linear unit that depends on no other quantity, it would seem natural to prefer it. Moreover, a mensural unit taken from the earth itself offers another advantage, that of being perfectly analogous to all the real measurements that in ordinary usage are also made upon the earth, such as the distance between two places or the area of some tract, for example. It is far more natural in practice to refer geographical distances to a quadrant of a great circle than to the length of a pendulum.” IfsMadeTwoRealSeemsEarthScienceNaturalPracticeTakenExampleDependsOffersOrdinaryAdvantageAreasDistanceDefinitionsCirclesLengthQuantityUnitsMeasurementLinearUsagePendulums Author:Nicolas de Caritat, marquis de Condorcet
“I made one choice, for example, which is I'm just going to confine work to working hours. I'm not going to work on the weekend.

“When I was racing, we were more used to seeing some horrific accidents. For example, Michael Schumacher is a great world champion, but I haven't seen a weekend where he doesn't go off the circuit. At every race he always has a spin or runs through the gravel trap. He usually doesn't hit anything, but nevertheless it is an error that could not have been made in the days I raced.” WorldHas BeensMadeRunningUsedRaceSeeingHavensExampleErrorsAccidentsChampionRacingWeekendNeverthelessTrapsCircuitsHorrificWorld ChampionsGravelSchumacher Author:Jackie Stewart
“One of the biggest things I've done is learn how to love myself, flaws and all. Even the things I don't like about myself, I accept. People have made fun of me and made me self-conscious about talking so softly, for example, but I accept that as who I am and I'm not changing it for anybody. I'm at peace with who I am now, and once you've achieved that, all the other stuff disappears.” PeopleMadeSelfDoneFunStuffTalkingAcceptingExampleConsciousDisappearWho I AmFlawsSelf ConsciousHow To LoveLove Myself Author:Ricky Williams
“Feminists of my mother's generation argued that both mom and dad should work a little less and each do some of the household chores. My parents, for example, split everything 50/50.

“Such was the will of the Father that his Son, blessed and glorious, whom he gave to us, and who was born for us, should by his own blood, sacrifice, and oblation, offer himself on the altar of the cross, not for himself, by whom "all things were made," but for our sins, leaving us an example that we should follow his steps.” ShouldMadeFatherBornSinStepsSacrificeBloodExampleSonOffersAll ThingsCrossesBlessedLeavingGloriousAltarsBlood Sacrifice Book:Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi Source: Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi
“Owing to the identification of religion with virtue, together with the fact that the most religious men are not the most intelligent, a religious education gives courage to the stupid to resist the authority of educated men, as has happened, for example, where the teaching of evolution has been made illegal. So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence; and in this respect ministers of religion follow gospel authority more closely than in some others.” MenGivingHas BeensMadeI CanFactsTogetherRememberReligiousVirtueHappenedTeachingStupidExampleEvolutionAuthorityIntelligentPraiseEducatedMinistersIllegalOne WordIdentificationOwingEducated ManReligious Education Book:Education and the Social Order Source: Education and the Social Order
