History Quotes A-Z by Author |
There’s no denying that a collapse
in stock prices today would pose serious
macroeconomic challenges for the United
States. Consumer spending would slow, and
the U.S. economy would become less of a
magnet for foreign investors. Economic growth,
which in any case has recently been at unsustainable
levels, would decline somewhat. History
proves, however, that a smart central bank
can protect the economy and the financial
sector from the nastier side effects of
a stock market collapse.

I think the important thing to learn is
that we can retain a sentimental loyalty
to the cultural and literary traditions
of, say, Judaism, Anglicanism or Islam,
and even participate in religious rituals
such as marriages and funerals, without
buying into the supernatural beliefs that
historically went along with those traditions.
We can give up belief in God while not losing
touch with a treasured heritage.

We are all atheists about most of the gods
that humanity has ever believed in. Some
of us just go one god further.

Almost everybody today believes that nothing
in economic history has ever moved as fast
as, or had a greater impact than, the Information
Revolution. But the Industrial Revolution
moved at least as fast in the same time
span, and had probably an equal impact if
not a greater one.
Peter
Drucker - Technology

Economic development over the past two centuries
has taken most of humanity from lives that
were brutal, ignorant and short, to personal
health and security, material comfort and
knowledge that were unknown to the elites
of the wealthiest and most powerful societies
in earlier times.

The international equity question arises
from the costs of climate change itself
and mitigation varying greatly across countries.
It is affected by the historical responsibility
for current greenhouse gas emissions, which
countries which were not responsible for
what’s in the atmosphere now think
are very important. Currently rich countries
don’t think those issues are very important.

We've got the most prosperous culture in
human history and we've also got the biggest
spiritual hole in human history. People
are saying, "I can't fill the hole
with money. I can't fill it with alcohol,
or drugs, or sex, so what do I need to fill
it with?"

Naturally, every age thinks that all ages
before it were prejudiced, and today we
think this more than ever and are just as
wrong as all previous ages that thought
so. How often have we not seen the truth
condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true
that man learns nothing from history.

From the living fountain of instinct flows
everything that is creative; hence the unconscious
is not merely conditioned by history, but
is the very source of the creative impulse.
It is like Nature herself.. prodigiously
conservative, and yet transcending her own
historical conditions in her acts of creation.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature,
the heart of a heartless world, just as
it is the spirit of a spiritless situation.
It is the opium of the people. The abolition
of religion as the illusory happiness of
the people is required for their real happiness.
The demand to give up the illusion about
its condition is the demand to give up a
condition which needs illusions.

Communism is the riddle of history solved,

We have technology, finally, that for the

Countries without much history, or without
much sad history, are more naive. But in
their naivety they are realists, they can
see their problems easily.

We need to develop respect for our history,
despite all of its flaws, and love for the
Fatherland. We need to pay the utmost attention
to our common moral values and consolidate
Russian society on this basis. I think that
this is an absolute priority.

Russia is an ancient country with historical,
profound traditions and a very powerful
moral foundation. And this foundation is
a love for the Motherland and patriotism.
Patriotism in the best sense of that word.
Incidentally, I think that to a certain
extent, to a significant extent, this is
also attributable to the American people.

Russia has made its choice in favor of democracy.
Fourteen years ago, independently, without
any pressure from outside, it made that
decision in the interests of itself and
interests of its people.. of its citizens.
This is our final choice, and we have no
way back. There can be no return to what
we used to have before.

In fact, at this point in history, the most
radical, pervasive, and earth-shaking transformation
would occur simply if everybody truly evolved
to a mature, rational, and responsible ego,
capable of freely participating in the open
exchange of mutual self-esteem. There is
the 'edge of history.' There would be a
real New Age.
