“Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur. It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. “Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.” ThinkingGivingKindFactsHelpingCoursesOpportunityBeliefSocialRolesRevolutionNeededBalanceHealthyDemandDeterminationTasksInstitutionsDefinitionsAggressiveAfflictionConfrontationUnhealthySocial Roles Author:Barbara Deming
“Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work. That's the promise of America - the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper.” ShouldIdeasHelpingGovernmentAmericaFallOpportunityBeliefNationsHurtInfluenceWillingBrotherPromiseResponsibleFundamentalsMy BrotherMy SisterKeepersMy Sister's Keeper Author:Barack Obama
“I think the opportunity to deal with students and getting them properly oriented on science and theology and the relation between those is going to be important because science has been such an instrument used by the materialists to undermine the Christian faith and religious belief generally.” ThinkingHas BeensImportantChristianUsedOpportunityBeliefReligiousDealsStudentsRelationInstrumentsTheologyChristian FaithReligious Belief Author:William A.

“Human life has no meaning independent of itself. There is no cosmic force or deity to give it meaning or significance. There is no ultimate destiny for man. Such a belief is an illusion of humankind's infancy. The meaning of life is what we choose to give it. Meaning grows out of human purposes alone. Nature provides us with an infinite range of opportunities, but it is only our vision and our action that select and realize those that we desire.” MenGivingHumansActionLife IsDesirePurposeOpportunityBeliefForceGrowsRealizingVisionDestinyAtheismIllusionUltimateInfiniteIndependentRangeHuman LifeMeaning Of LifeSignificanceCosmicHumankindDeitiesOur ActionsSelectInfancyLife Has No Meaning Author:Paul Kurtz
“I think it's important to control your opportunities, because in the entertainment world, it's not up to you. I'm not sitting here under this naïve belief that someone in Hollywood is going, "Gaffigan! What kind of a show can I build around him?"

“I've found in my own life that the older I get, the more stubborn I am in my beliefs and opinions. Without keeping my ego in check, it would be easy for me to bail on relationships when I didn't agree with someone. The antidote to this problem is humility, plain and simple. The more we claim an unassuming nature, the more we believe the best about people and situations, and the more we try and see others through the lens of love. We are then given the opportunity for our relationships to grow.” PeopleTryingBelieveProblemOpportunityBeliefEasySimpleSituationOpinionHumilityEgoAgreeOur RelationshipStubborn Author:Anne Marie Miller
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.” FirstsPersonsOpportunityBeliefGroupsCivilizationCrueltyOccasionsBetrayColonialismUnconcerned Author:Simone Weil
“Here is a myth for you if myths are your pleasure: "There is no more opportunity in this world."

“What a lot of people don't understand is that when you change your thinking, when you accept different concepts, then life mirrors those for you.
