Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.
In a sensibly organised society, if you improve productivity, there is room for everybody to benefit.
The Kingdom is the love of God prevailing in politics, in business, in government, in media. It is all the impact of the laws of God creating a social environment where the strong help the weak, where those who have give to those who don't. It's a society where relationships are built on love.
It's a free society. But don't tell the world that we can feed the present population without chemical fertilizer. That's when this misinformation becomes destructive.
My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.
We need to have a modicum of faith in people's common sense, creativity and will to survive and prosper even in the face of great difficulties and obstacles.

It is the mission of the next Conservative Government to build the Responsible Society.
This war of choice in Iraq is undermining the very fabric of American society.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.
We live in a democracy. We have this extraordinary opportunity to use our mind and say what we think, speak as we think. Sometimes what we say is objectionable to other people. But that is part of a free society.
Society cannot continue to disable themselves through their need to categorize people or make assumptions as to another individual's abilities.
I started thinking about joy. Everything in our society is so purposeful. Let's bring joy back to the experience.
It does not matter how much we donate; it matters whether the donation is meaningful. How to define meaningful? Let society and history judge.
Alabama citizens, like the vast majority of Americans, respect and value the meaning of decency, and appreciate public institutions that reflect the common values of our society.
Why can't Google, which likes to see itself as a 'Don't Be Evil' benevolent force in society, just write us a big check for using our stories, so we can keep checks and balances alive and continue to provide the search engine with our stories?
So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.
There are some fine books and essays about that. Lewis Hyde has written about alcoholism and poets and the role that society gives its writers - encouraging them to die.
A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.
If I wanted to develop a scenario to destroy America, I would do what the Republicans are doing.

The tradition of classical music and the opera is such that it used to be the place where social intercourse could take place between all parts of society: politicians, industrialists, artists, citizens, etc. That tradition, I think, still exists, but it's much, much more diluted.

We don't want to put a band-aid on our problems that we keep talking about in society; we want to get down to the nitty gritty and do some surgery.
Conflict can't be avoided in our public lives any more than we can avoid conflict with people we love. One of the great strengths of our society is that we can express these conflicts openly.
Television is just one more facet of that considerable segment of our society that never had any standard but the soft buck.
As it relates to society in general, I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.'
It is vain to expect a well-balanced government without a well-balanced society.
All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.
It's not just the effect of technology on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on society, on politics, etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life.
I have exercises that lead participants to discover for themselves that their deepest fulfillment comes when what they're doing is of benefit to larger society in some way. This really knocks some for a loop - especially those schooled in the 'take no prisoners' approach.
The sports space is so full of opinion that you aren't hearing from the athletes just speaking for themselves. We are such a Twitter-oriented society with radio talk shows, TV talk shows and social media - what you are missing is the authentic, unfiltered aspect of who these people are.
