Perish the infamous doctrine that man can have property in man. Let us resent with indignation every effort to put a chain upon our minds.
History, at its best, always tells us as much indirectly about ourselves as it does directly about our predecessors, and it is often most revealing when it deals with episodes and phenomena that we find repulsive.
Consumerist ads brainwash us into individualist and egotistic self-love.
My brothers and I early on said to one another that, as a collective, we could do far more than any of us could do individually.
It's tough to figure out how do we compete in Europe and North America, when obviously a living wage for us is very different than a living wage in Indonesia.
The industrial revolution allowed us, for the first time, to start replacing human labour with machines.
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.

The features of globalization have huge consequences on pandemics. It just connects us so much more closely... And as a consequence, every one of these viruses that passes from animals to humans has the capacity to infect all of us.
We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge, and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference, unmixed with considerations of a different order.
The power of imagination makes us infinite.
Until the province is willing to look internally at their inflated budget, to engage the private sector, to exhaust every other available avenue, we can't justify a series of costly new taxes on residents who are already telling us that they just can't afford it.
To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
Hearing, which, by the motion of the air, informs us of the motion of sounding or vibrating bodies.
Archaeologists use datasets from NASA and commercial satellites, processing the information using various off-the-shelf computer programs. These datasets allow us to see beyond the visible part of the light spectrum into the near, middle, and far infrared.
The injunction that we should love our neighbors as ourselves means to us equally that we should love ourselves as we love our neighbors.
