The quality of a society depends on its capacity to produce eminent personalities.

Copy Quote Text

The direction and rhythm of human progress do not depend on the masses, even when they add up to hundreds of millions; they depend on superior minorities.

Gonzalo Fernandez De La Mora

Hiding behind such sacred terms as human rights and distributive justice, politicians and intellectuals alike have perpetrated a gargantuan ruse on humankind: they have convinced us that mass homogeneity is more essential for the betterment of society than is individual initiative, and they have adorned this dubious assumption with assurances that by leveling all distinctions between human beings, collective peace and unity will result as a matter of course, just as water runs downhill or the cart follows the ox.

Gonzalo Fernandez De La Mora

Courage is the first spiritual quality that you need to have.

Paulo Coelho Lyricist

Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.

Margaret Mead Cultural Anthropologist

High-quality food is better for your health.

Michael Pollan Author

The most convincing artistic forms of our time are inner models of structural vitality and social relevance. They give us confidence that in spite of everything there is still quality to life.

Gyorgy Kepes Visual Artist

Rational behavior requires theory. Reactive behavior requires only reflex action.

W. Edwards Deming Statistician

Everyone faces defeats, setbacks, reversals of fortune. But just like water wearing away rock, persistence triumphs. Resilience is one of the most important qualities I would look at in trying to predict who is going to be ultimately successful.

Jeffrey Pfeffer Professor

Programs of a political nature are important end products of social quality that can be effective only if the underlying structure of social values is right. The social values are right only if the individual values are right. The place to improve the world is first in one's heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.

Robert M. Pirsig Writer

I'm a Christian. I believe that greatness has to do with the quality of love shown to the least of thy brethren and the quality of service to those who are catching hell. When you look at it in that sense, I'd say America has had great moments, but I wouldn't call it a great nation. I don't think there have been any great nations in the history of the world, because in every nation you find poor people being subjugated. So, I see the term "great nation" as a contradiction, as an oxymoron.

Cornel West Philosopher
