“Our oil-based society depends on non-renewable resources. It requires relentless probing into vast reaches of pristine land, sacrificing vital bioregions, and irreplaceable cultures. The possibility of catastrophic climate change is substantially increased by the 40 million barrels of oil burned every day by vehicles. We must all move shoulder to shoulder in a unified front to show this administration that the true majority of people are willing to vote for a cleaner environment and won't back down.” PeopleShowsMovingCultureMillionsEnvironmentSacrificeLandFrontsPossibilityWillingDependsResourcesVoteMajorityClimateClimate ChangeOilShouldersAdministrationVehicleBurnedEcologyRelentlessBarrelsCleanersUnifiedIrreplaceablePristineProbingRenewable Resources Author:Leonardo DiCaprio
“The successful politician owes his power to the fact that he moves within the accepted framework of thought, that he thinks and talks conventionally. It would be almost a contradiction in terms for a politician to be a leader in the field of ideas. His task in a democracy is to find out what the opinions held by the largest number are, not to give currency to new opinions which may become the majority view in some distant future.” ThinkingGivingMayIdeasFactsWould BeMovingPoliticsTermViewsNumbersLeaderOpinionPowerDemocracySuccessfulFieldsPoliticianTasksMajorityAcceptedContradictionCurrencyFramework Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“A majority of the successful women on the pop scene conform to what a woman is supposed to be. Some have tried to get things moving. They have tried to modify the image. But sometimes the image has a hard time changing the eye - to change the relationship between the image and the eye takes longer.” SometimesHardEyeMovingSuccessfulSceneMajorityPopsSupposed To BeHard TimesConformSuccessful Women Author:Orlan
“There are many persons ready to do what is right because in their hearts they know it is right. But they hesitate, waiting for theother fellow to make the first move--and he, in turn, waits for you. The minute a person whose word means a great deal dares to take the open- hearted and courageous way, many others follow. Not everyone can be turned aside from meanness and hatred, but the great majority of Americans is heading in that direction. I have a great belief in the future of my people and my country.” PeopleKnowsWayFirstsHeartMeanPersonsCountryMovingTurnsBeliefWaitingDealsMinutesReadyMoralityHatredFellowsMajorityDareCivil RightsCourageousHeartedCivil Rights MovementHeadingsMeanness Book:My Lord, what a Morning: An Autobiography Source: My Lord, what a Morning: An Autobiography
“To higher or lower ends, they [the majority of mankind] move too often with something of a sad countenance, with hurried and ignoble gait, becoming, unconsciously, something like thorns, in their anxiety to bear grapes; it being possible for people, in the pursuit of even great ends, to become themselves thin and impoverished in spirit and temper, thus diminishing the sum of perfection in the world, at its very sources.” PeopleWorldEndsMovingSpiritMankindSourceBearsBecomingHigherAnxietyAmbitionPerfectionMajorityPursuitTemperGrapesThornsCountenanceIgnobleGait Book:The Works of Walter Pater Source: The Works of Walter Pater
