But we have created a society that does not allow opportunities for those people to take care of themselves because we have denied them those opportunities.

Similarly thought is a system. That system not only includes thought and feelings but it includes the state of the body it includes the whole of society - as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times.

The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.

What you're seeing with Occupy Wall Street and the others are people who are unhappy and they're directing their unhappiness now toward Wall Street and toward those they think are doing too well in our society.

There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks.

The only society I like is rough and tough and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
