My first payback to society in life, was The Dolphin Project.
We have perpetrated a myth in our society that being brave means not being afraid, but that's wrong.
Legal discrimination between the sexes is, in almost every instance, founded on outmoded views of society and the pre-scientific beliefs about psychology and physiology. It is time to sweep away these relics of the past and set further generations free of them.
The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society.
Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for making the Anglo Saxon race but one Empire? What a dream, but yet it is probable; it is possible.
The practice of executing such offenders is a relic of the past and is inconsistent with evolving standards of decency in a civilized society.
What we call a democratic society might be defined for certain purposes as one in which the majority is always prepared to put down a revolutionary minority.

French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that.
War is society's dirty work, usually done by kids cleaning up failures perpetrated by adults.
I believe discrimination still exists in society and we must fight it in every form.
Bilingualism lets you have your cake and eat it. The new language opens the doors to the best jobs in society; the old language allows you to keep your sense of 'who you are.' It preserves your identity. With two languages, you have the best of both worlds.
Black Lives Matter has no more to do with black issues than Students for a Democratic Society had to do with democracy. They are means to an end, and they use the black population as sacrifices for their goals.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Illegal immigrants are beginning to comprise a black market class of workers in our society, jeopardizing the financial health of companies which play by the rules, while themselves vulnerable to the exploitation by those willing to take advantage of their illegal status.
I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.
In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.
The great principle of Western society is that competition rules here as it rules in everything else. The best man - that is to say, the strongest and cleverest - is likely to get the best woman, in the sense of the most beautiful person.
In our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another.
Where we are as a nation is due to having an openness to the people of the world. It's incredibly important. I firmly believe that we cannot shut our borders to immigrants. I think a fair and just immigration policy is good for our country and good for our society.

All that is needed to set us definitely on the road to a Fascist society is war. It will of course be a modified form of Fascism at first.
We had a big controversy in the United States when there was a limited number of dialysis machines.

The concept of monogamy is an inheritance of a medieval time, when family would carry the tradition of the name and certain privileges. It's a way of organizing society, perhaps.
I am privileged to be a citizen of the single greatest society in all of human history.
I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very, very key ambitions in politics, not least social mobility and life chances, that I care about as passionately if not more.
Some of the brightest and best women in our society are stifled in their ambitions.
I have the satisfaction of knowing I did something useful for society.
My feeling is that if you can make a big impact on the global literacy problem, you can uplift a big portion of society.
