“If woman alone had suffered under these mistaken traditions [of women's subordination], if she could have borne the evil by herself, it would have been less pitiful, but her brother man, in the laws he created and ignorantly worshipped, has suffered with her. He has lost her highest help; he has crippled the intelligence he needed; he has belittled the very source of his own being and dwarfed the image of his Maker.” IfsMenHas BeensHelpingLawEvilLostBrotherSourceNeededHighestTraditionMakersMistakenCrippledPitifulSubordination Author:Clara Barton

“I have learned a new form of service from the wars of Frederick, king of Prussia. It is not necessary to approach the enemy in order to attack him. In fleeing from him, it is possible to circumvent him as he advances and fall on him from the rear and force him to surrender. What is needed is not to strike straight at evil but to withdraw to the sources of divine power, and from there to circle around evil, bend it and transform it into its opposite.” WarFormOrderFallEvilForceEnemyDivineSourceKingsNeededApproachOppositesStrikesCirclesSurrenderI Have LearnedFleeingDivine PowerPrussia Book:Ten Rungs: Collected Hasidic Sayings Source: Ten Rungs: Collected Hasidic Sayings
“I still believe that workers must be the basic force which must organize and eventually transform society (along with peasants in poor countries). This is because they are the source of the profits which make capitalism what it is. They can shut the system down, and at the same time they possess the unique knowledge needed to make it work in everyone's interests.” BelieveStillsCountryForceInterestPoorSourceNeededUniqueCapitalismDown AndWorkersProfitOrganizePeasantsI Still BelievePoor Countries Author:Michael Yates
