A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you’ll be criticized, anyway. You’ll be “damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Quoted in Dale Carnegie, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, ch. 21 (1948)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/85…

The laws of conscience, which we pretend to be derived from nature, proceed from custom; every one, having an inward veneration for the opinions and manners approved and received among his own people, cannot, without very great reluctance, depart from them, nor apply himself to them without applause.
[Les loix de la conscience, que nous disons naistre de nature, naissent de la coustume : chacun ayant en veneration interne les opinions & mœurs approuvees & receues autour de luy, ne s’en peut desprendre sans remors, ny s’y appliquer sans applaudissement.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 1, ch. 22 (1.22), “Of Custom and Not Easily Changing an Accepted Law [De la Coustume et de Ne Changer Aisément une Loy Receüe]” (1572) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
[… T]he individual virtues, and the necessity of character as the chief factor in any man’s success — a teaching in which I now believe as sincerely as ever, for all the laws that the wit of man can devise will never make a man a worthy citizen unless he has within himself the right stuff, unless he has self-reliance, energy, courage, the power of insisting on his own rights and the sympathy that makes him regardful of the rights of others.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 1 “Boyhood and Youth” (1913)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/8…

The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence can live only as long as they are enshrined in our hearts and minds. If they are not so enshrined, they would be no better than mummies in their glass cases, and they could in time become idols whose worship would be a grim mockery of the true faith. Only as these documents are reflected in the thoughts and acts of Americans can they remain symbols of a power that can move the world.
Harry S Truman (1884-1972) US President (1945-1953)
Speech (1952-12-15), National ArchivesMore about this quote: wist.info/truman-harry-s/63640…

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle
I am very wary of those individuals who are neither writers nor editors nor even, in some cases, readers, who feel that they have the right to apply their own moral criteria to the books in public and school libraries. I have enormous respect and admiration and love for the librarians who are rising up to protest this, because they are putting their very jobs on the line.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

[S]he brought some of those apples. I was obliged to eat them, I was so hungry. It was against my principles, but I find that principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Perhaps that’s what we all had to do — think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist

Many people that I know personally have unfollowed me on Instagram while I was still following them. To me, this is Betrayal. If you unfollow someone on any social media, then make sure that you also remove that person from your followers list.

The #MerchantBanks and #CentralBanks corrupt everything they touch. And they touch alot of stuff.
#FredericBastiat: "When #plunder becomes a way of life for a #groupOfMen in a #society, they create for themselves a #legalCode that authorises it, and a #moralCode that glorifies it." One cannot underestimate this. The #overdevelopment and #gentrification that has gutted #communities over the past century was funded by #bankers, including the…(1/3)
