“To have peace and not war, the drift toward a war economy, as facilitated by the moves and the demands of the sophisticated conservatives, must be stopped; to have peace without slump, the tactics and policies of the practical right must be overcome. The political and economic power of both must be broken. The power of these giants of main drift is both economically and politically anchored; both unions and an independent labor party are needed to struggle effective.” WarMovingPoliticalPartyStruggleEconomyEconomicPolicyBrokenNeededDemandLaborOvercomingIndependentUnionsPracticalsGiantsSophisticatedTacticsEconomic PowerSlumps Author:C.

“It is legitimate to have one's own point of view and political philosophy. But there are people who make anger, rather than a deeply held belief, the basis of their actions. They do not seem to mind harming society as a whole in the pursuit of their immediate objective. No society can survive if it yields to the demands of frenzy, whether of the few or the many.” PeopleIfsMindPhilosophyWholeSeemsActionPoliticalPoliticsBeliefViewsPartyDemandBasesPoint Of ViewPursuitObjectivesYieldPolitical PartiesPolitical PhilosophyFrenzy Book:Education, individual, and society: selected addresses Source: Education, individual, and society: selected addresses
“Always underdress. The goal is not to look as if you made an effort for the particular event. If you can dress for a different party (i.e., wear black tie to a cocktail party, or tennis clothes for lunch), so much the better.

“Most men appear to think that the art of despotic government is statesmanship, and what men affirm to be unjust and inexpedient in their own case they are not ashamed of practicing towards others; they demand just rule for themselves, but where other men are concerned they care nothing about it. Such behavior is irrational; unless the one party is, and the other is not, born to serve, in which case men have a right to command, not indeed all their fellows, but only those who are intended to be subjects; just as we ought not to hunt mankind, whether for food or sacrifice . .” ThinkingMenArtGovernmentCareBornPartyCasesSacrificeSubjectsMankindHuman NatureOughtDemandBehaviorConcernedFellowsCommandAshamedIrrationalUnjustHuntsStatesmanshipCommand Not Author:Aristotle
“Our first-party devices will light up digital work and life. Surface Pro 3 is a great example -- it is the world's best productivity tablet. In addition, we will build first-party hardware to stimulate more demand for the entire Windows ecosystem. That means at times we'll develop new categories like we did with Surface. It also means we will responsibly make the market for Windows Phone, which is our goal with the Nokia devices and services acquisition.” WorldFirstsMeanLightGoalPartyExampleDemandWindowPhonesSurfaceProductivityDigitalDevicesCategoriesAcquisitionEcosystemsLight UpHardwareTabletsWork And LifeNokia Author:Satya Nadella

“All left-wing parties in the highly industrialized countries are at bottom a sham, because they make it their business to fight against something which they do not really wish to destroy. They have internationalist aims, and at the same time they struggle to keep up a standard of life with which those aims are incompatible. We all live by robbing Asiatic coolies, and those of us who are 'enlightened' all maintain that those coolies ought to be set free; but our standard of living, and hence our 'enlightenment,' demands that the robbery shall continue.” CountryFightingLeftWishPartyStruggleOughtDemandStandardsEnlightenmentAimWingsBottomEnlightenedLive ByConsumerismOverconsumptionStandards Of LivingLeft WingRobberyRobbing Book:The Orwell Reader: Fiction, Essays, and Reportage Source: The Orwell Reader: Fiction, Essays, and Reportage
