“All great leaders find a sense of balance through their levels of reception. For instance, those who support a leader may soften him, those who ignore him may challenge him, and those who oppose him may stroke his ego.” MayChallengesLevelsLeaderSupportBalanceEgoInstanceStrokesGreat LeaderReception Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“Until he announced his immigration policy last week, Obama had the support of most Hispanic voters - but not the enthusiasm they had shown for him in 2008. That may be changing in part because of the decision not to deport young immigrants whose undocumented parents brought them here as children.” MayChildrenLastsYoungParentDecisionSupportWeekPolicyImmigrationEnthusiasmImmigrantsVotersHispanicImmigration Policy Author:Mara Liasson
“The principle, on which the war was waged by the North, was simply this: That men may rightfully be compelled to submit to, and support, a government that they do not want; and that resistance, on their part, makes them traitors and criminals.” MenWantMayWarGovernmentPrinciplesSupportCriminalsResistanceSubmitCompelledTraitor Book:Individualist anarchist pamphlets Source: Individualist anarchist pamphlets
“Your closest relationships are often the ones that have the most effect on you, but they are frequently the ones most difficult to change. These relationships are complex and have long histories. Lifetime habits of avoiding being really present with each other may exist in many of them. Family members, for instance, might want to support you, but will not necessarily know how to genuinely listen or be present with you in a way that is enlivening. . . . Even with the best intentions, it can be very difficult to get beyond the past and into the Now.” KnowsWayWantMayLongMightPastDifficultSupportKnow HowRelationshipEffectsHabitMembersIntentionLifetimeComplexesInstanceBeing RealClosestAvoidingFamily MembersSupport YouBest Intentions Author:Richard Moss
“We, all of us in the First World, have participated in something of a binge, a half century of unbelievable prosperity and ease. We may have had some intuition that it was a binge and the earth couldn't support it, but aside from the easy things (biodegradable detergent, slightly smaller cars) we didn't do much. We didn't turn our lives around to prevent it. Our sadness is almost an aesthetic response - appropriate because we have marred a great, mad, profligate work of art, taken a hammer to the most perfectly proportioned of sculptures.” WorldFirstsMayArtEarthTurnsEasyHalfSupportTakenOur LivesSadnessCenturyCarMadResponseProsperityIntuitionEaseAppropriateWorks Of ArtAestheticConsumerismUnbelievableSculptureHammersOverconsumptionEasy ThingsBingeBiodegradable Author:Bill McKibben
“The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless... From the conclusion of this war we shall be going downhill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to affect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.” PeopleThinkingMayMadeWarMomentsSpiritForgetLibertySupportRightsForgottenDuesConclusionMaking MoneyFacultySoleRulersResortsCarelessReviveShacklesUnitingDisregarded Author:Thomas Jefferson

“I support the death penalty. I think that it has to be administered not only fairly, with attention to things like DNA evidence, which I think should be used in all capital cases, but also with very careful attention. If the wrong guy is put to death, then that's a double tragedy. Not only has an innocent person been executed but the real perpetrator of the crime has not been held accountable for it, and in some cases may be still at large. But I support the death penalty in the most heinous cases.” IfsThinkingShouldMayPersonsStillsRealUsedGuyAttentionCasesSupportCrimeEvidenceTragedyCarefulInnocentPenaltiesDnaDeath PenaltyPerpetratorsInnocent PersonWrong GuyDna Evidence Author:Al Gore
