“The first duty of
society is to give each of its members the possibility of fulfilling
his destiny. When it becomes incapable of performing this duty it
must be transformed.” |
DAVID BEN GURION
"Why should the Arabs make peace? If
I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That
is natural: we have taken their country ... There has been
anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their
fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen
their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps
forget in one or two generations' time, but for the moment there
is no chance. So it is simple: we have to stay strong and
maintain a powerful army" |
KARL JASPERS
"That which has happened is a
warning. To forget it is guilt. It must be continually
remembered. It was possible for this to happen, and it remains
possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge
can it be prevented." |
RABBI HILLEL - 110 BCE - 10 CE
"If
I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for
myself, what am I? If not now, when?" |
HARRIET TUBMAN
"I freed a thousand slaves I
could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were
slaves." |

"A time comes when silence is
betrayal" |
THOMAS JEFFERSON
“If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of
their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of
all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent
their fathers occupied. The issuing power of money should be taken from
the bankers and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs.
I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of
money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.
We are completely saddled and bridled, and the bank is so firmly mounted
on us that we must go where they ill guide.
The dominion which the banking institutions have obtained over the minds
of our citizens...must be broken, or it will break us.” |
PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON 1964
"Then listen to me Mr.
Ambassador. Fuck your parliament and your constitution. America
is an elephant, Cyprus is a flea, Greece is a flea. If these two
feckless fleas continue itching the elephant they may get
whacked by the elephant’s trunk, whacked good… We pay a lot of
good American dollars to the Greeks Mr. Ambassador. If your
Prime Minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and the
constitution, he, his parliament and his constitution may not
last very long.’" |
