“Those who professed themselves unable to believe in the reality of human progress ought to cheer themselves up, as the students under examination had conceivably been cheered up, by a short study of the Middle Ages. The hydrogen bomb, the South African Government, Chioang Kaidick, Senator McCarthy himself, would then seem a light price to pay for no longer being in the Middle Ages.” BelieveHumansRealityLightSeemsGovernmentAgePayStudyProgressMiddleStudentsOughtSouthBombsCheerSouth AfricaSenatorsMiddle AgesExaminationHydrogenHuman ProgressHydrogen Bomb Book:Lucky Jim Source: Lucky Jim

“I come out of the environment of the Deep South, where I had seen the millstone of racial discrimination weighting down my people, both the black people and the white people; and I had seen the enormous progress that we were able to make after we removed the legal restraints of a two-class society, with the whites superior and blacks inferior. So I was very convinced before I became President that basic human rights, equality of opportunity, the end of abuse by governments of their people, was a basic principle on which the United States should be an acknowledged champion.” PeopleShouldHumansTwoEndsStatesGovernmentAbleOpportunityBlackPresidentWhiteUnitedClassPrinciplesUnited StatesEnvironmentRightsProgressAbuseSouthHuman RightsConvincedEnormousDiscriminationSuperiorsChampionBlack PeopleInferiorsRestraintBasic PrinciplesRacial DiscriminationEquality Of OpportunityBasic Human Rights Author:Jimmy Carter
“Ten years have now passed since many of us first felt the jolt of history-when the second plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. We knew from that moment that things can go terribly wrong in our world-not because life is unfair, or moral progress impossible, but because we have failed, generation after generation, to abolish the delusions of our ignorant ancestors.” WorldYearsFirstsMomentsLife IsFeltMoralProgressImpossibleGenerationsTenTradeSouthIgnorantPlanesDelusionThat MomentOur WorldAncestorUnfairTowersAbolishWorld TradeWorld Trade CenterLife Is Unfair Author:Sam Harris
“The origin of nursing started out with prostitutes, who would go care for people in jail. That was back when nobody wanted to go to the hospital because it was basically a place that you went to die. It started progressing with the visiting nurses in the South. The women started wearing these outfits to make it look like they were more sophisticated and so that they could be more respected. They started recruiting women from good education backgrounds because they wanted to make it a more respected profession.” PeopleLooksCareWantedDiesProgressSouthProfessionBackgroundsHospitalsJailNurseSophisticatedNursingVisitingBack WhenOutfitsGood Education Author:Eve Hewson

“On both of my major trips to North Korea, the leaders of the country made it plain that they want to make progress towards doing away with nuclear weapons and towards ending the longstanding, official state of war which persists between North Korea and the United States and South Korea, a war which has continued since the ceasefire over fifty years ago. That sort of thing happens quite often when we meet with people who are kind of international outcasts with whom the government of the United States won't meet.” PeopleWantYearsKindMadeWarCountryStatesGovernmentHappensUnitedLeaderUnited StatesProgressMajorsWeaponsYears AgoSouthInternationalNuclearThings HappenMade ItOfficialsFiftyNuclear WeaponsPersistKoreaNorth KoreaOutcastSouth KoreaCeasefire Author:Jimmy Carter

“I know it feels like two steps forward and one step back, but we are making progress. In my lifetime, I have lived through one World War, I have lived through the end of Apartheid in South Africa, the pulling down of the Berlin Wall. I have experienced what I never thought I would have experienced, which is a pretty workable peace in Northern Ireland, and I experienced a unified Europe - until the Conservative government got its hands on the idea that in order to appease a few back-benchers they would hold a referendum, what a disastrous idea.” KnowsWorldFeelsTwoIdeasWarEndsHandsGovernmentOrderStepsProgressWallEuropeLifetimeSouthConservativeWar Of The WorldsIrelandWorld War ISouth AfricaPullingBerlinApartheidSteps ForwardUnifiedAppeaseNorthern IrelandReferendumsBerlin Wall Author:Patrick Stewart
