“Futurologists have been multiplying like flies since the day Herman Kahn made Cassandra's profession "scientific," yet somehow not one of them has come out with the clear statement that we have wholly abandoned ourselves to the mercy of technological progress. The roles are now reversed: humanity becomes, for technology, a means, an instrument for achieving a goal unknown and unknowable.” MeanHas BeensMadeHumanityGoalRolesTechnologyClearProgressAchieveMercyInstrumentsProfessionStatementsAbandonedTechnologicalMultiplyingTechnological Progress Author:Stanislaw Lem
“The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy; charity demands beneficence and fraternal correction; it is benevolence; it fosters reciprocity and remains disinterested and generous; it is friendship and communion: Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works.

“Where I am now, you're very much at everybody else's mercy. You have no control over your career in a lot of ways. It's just important to know what your own goals are, because that's empowering.” KnowsWayImportantGoalCareersMercyEmpoweringOver You Author:Rose Byrne
“When you work for others, you are at their mercy. They own your work; they own you. Your creative spirit is squashed. What keeps you in such positions is a fear of having to sink or swim on your own. Instead you should have a greater fear of what will happen to you if you remain dependent on others for power. Your goal in every maneuver in life must be ownership, working the corner for yourself. When it is yours, it is yours to lose - you are more motivated, more creative, more alive. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant, completely yourself.” IfsShouldSelfHappensLife IsSpiritGoalLosesCreativeGreaterAlivePositionShould HaveMercyUltimateCornersDependentSwimMotivatedOwnershipSelf ReliantCreative SpiritSink Or SwimUltimate Power Author:Curtis Jackson
