⇛ Max Horkheimer (Philosopher)

Copy Quote Text

Philosophy is overwhelmingly complicated, its procedure depressingly slow.

Max Horkheimer Philosopher

Whoever is not prepared to talk about capitalism should also remain silent about fascism.

Max Horkheimer Philosopher

Reason as an organ for perceiving the true nature of reality and determining the guiding principles of our lives has come to be regarded as obsolete.

Max Horkheimer Philosopher

With the abolition of otium and of the ego no aloof thinking is left. ... Without otium philosophical thought is impossible, cannot be conceived or understood.

Max Horkheimer Philosopher

The roots of effective leadership lie in simple things, one of which is listening. Listening to someone demonstrates respect; it shows that you value their ideas and are willing to hear them.

John Baldoni Author

The biggest challenge for everybody to realize out there is that we're in a very complicated business world and that were all under one umbrella and it's very challenging for everybody to figure out where the priorities lie and where the loyalties lie

Scott Bakula Actor

The shooting of the movie is the truth part and the editing of the movie is the lying part, the deceit part

Paul Hirsch Film Editor

Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison to his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one's guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil. ... Thus in evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good.

Albertus Magnus Saint

A politician is forced to make a habit of noble phrases and optimistic lies. In the end they infect himself.

Storm Jameson Journalist

If you love the justice of Jesus Christ more than you fear human judgment then you will seek to do compassion. Compassion means that if I see my friend and my enemy in equal need, I shall help them both equally. Justice demands that we seek and find the stranger, the broken, the prisoner and comfort them and offer them our help. Here lies the holy compassion of God that causes the devils much distress.

Mechthild Of Magdeburg
