“No revolution can ever succeed as a factor of liberation unless the MEANS used to further it be identical in spirit and tendency with the PURPOSES to be achieved. Revolution is the negation of the existing, a violent protest against man's inhumanity to man with all the thousand and one slaveries it involves. It is the destroyer of dominant values upon which a complex system of injustice, oppression, and wrong has been built up by ignorance and brutality. It is the herald of NEW VALUES, ushering in a transformation of the basic relations of man to man, and of man to society.” MenMeanHas BeensUsedSpiritPurposeValuesIgnoranceRevolutionThousandSucceedBuiltRelationTransformationSlaveryComplexesInjusticeViolentTendenciesFactorsOppressionLiberationProtestDominantIdenticalBrutalityDestroyersInhumanityNegationComplex SystemsInhumanity To Man Author:Emma Goldman
“In the background lurks the scourge of international terrorism. There are people exercising power in a few countries and leading political factions in others who seem to be moved by narrow, brutal and irrational impulses. Their view of their own self-interest is so blinkered as to leave no space for purely human values, for peaceful negotiation or for economic advancement. They are bent on the destruction of the established order and of civilised ways of doing business. They must never be allowed to succeed.” PeopleWayHumansSelfCountrySeemsPoliticalValuesOrderInterestSpaceViewsEconomicExerciseSucceedDestructionMovedInternationalTerrorismBackgroundsPeacefulImpulseBrutalIrrationalBentNegotiationAdvancementSelf InterestFactionsHuman ValuesScourgeCivilisedInternational Terrorism Author:Margaret Thatcher

“The value of market esoterica to the consumer of investment advice is a different story. In my opinion, investment success will not be produced by arcane formulae, computer programs or signals flashed by the price behavior of stocks and markets. Rather an investor will succeed by coupling good business judgment with an ability to insulate his thoughts and behavior from the super-contagious emotions that swirl about the marketplace.” DifferentStoriesValuesAbilityEmotionOpinionAdviceSucceedBehaviorJudgmentComputerProgramInvestmentConsumersInvestorsSignalsMarketplaceContagiousGood BusinessSwirlsArcaneInvestment SuccessCoupling Author:Warren Buffett

“We don't always know the details of our future. We do not know what lies ahead. We live in a time of uncertainty. We are surrounded by challenges on all sides. Occasionally discouragement may sneak in to our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work. In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn't work the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning.” ThinkingKnowsTryingMayEndsMomentsMightAbleLyingValuesFatherSidesChallengesDifferencesDarkEffortDoubtSeeingSucceedEarsDetailsUncertaintySatanMaking A DifferenceFrustrationOur FutureInvitesDiscouragementSneakSmall PartsSneak InDark Moments Author:Dieter F.
