“Last night, I had a telephone townhall for my constituents back in Vermont, and we had 11,500 people on it. And I had people on Social Security saying if getting fewer benefits will help us on the debt, they're for it. And I had a farmer saying that he's had subsidies for 35 years but we can't afford them anymore.” PeopleIfsYearsHelpingLastsNightSocialSecurityBenefitsDebtFarmersFewerTelephonesSocial SecurityLast NightConstituentsSubsidiesVermont Author:Peter Welch

“Faith is the backbone of the social and the foundation of the commercial fabric; remove faith between man and man, and society and commerce fall to pieces. There is not a happy home on earth but stands on faith; our heads are pillowed on it, we sleep at night in its arms with greater security for the safety of our lives, peace, and prosperity than bolts and bars can give.” MenGivingHomeEarthNightFaithFallSocialSleepGreaterPiecesOur LivesSecurityArmsSafetyFoundationProsperityBarsRemoveCommerceFabricBoltsBackboneHappy Home Author:Thomas Guthrie
“Quality is better seen up at the timberline than here obscured by smoky windows and oceans of words, and he sees that what he is talking about can never really be accepted here because to see it one has to be free of social authority and this is an institution of social authority. Quality for sheep is what the shepherd says. And if you take a sheep and put it up at the timberline at night when the wind is roaring, that sheep will be panicked half to death and will call and call until the shepherd comes, or comes the wolf.” IfsNightSocialHalfQualityTalkingWindAuthorityOceanWindowIndependenceInstitutionsAcceptedSheepShepherdsRoaring Author:Robert M.

“I tend to be a loner I think a lot of social theorists are like that. On one level, the majority of the most important people to me are people who I have imaginary conversations with in the deep of the night: I'm often in conversation with Max Weber or Karl Marx or someone like that.

“Yeah, you know, if I'm having an emotional scene I do like to go off and be by myself; not to say that I'm a method actor or anything like that, but for scenes like that that are more emotional, I do like to take that night off and not be so social.” IfsKnowsNightActorsSocialEmotionalSceneMethodYeah Author:Shay Mitchell
“Someone once defined a social problem as a situation in which the real world differs from the theories of intellectuals. To the intelligentsia, it follows, as the night follows the day, that it is the real world that is wrong and which needs to change.” WorldNeedsRealProblemNightSocialSituationTheoryDefinedReal WorldNeed A ChangeSocial Problems Book:Ever Wonder Why?: and Other Controversial Essays Source: Ever Wonder Why?: and Other Controversial Essays
