You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain. ↗

What I'm saying to you this morning is that Communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the Kingdom of Brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of Communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis. ↗

If the bringing of children into the world is today an economic burden, it is because the social system is inadequate; and not because God’s law is wrong. Therefore the State should remove the causes of that burden. The human must not be limited and controlled to fit the economic, but the economic must be expanded to fit the human. ↗

الوظيفة في تاريخ مصر مؤسسة مقدسة كالمعبد، والموظف المصري أقدم موظف في تاريخ الحضارة. إن يكن المثل الأعلى في البلدان الأخرى محارباً أو سياسياً أو تاجراً أو رجل صناعة أو بحاراً فهو في مصر الموظف. وإن أول تعاليم أخلاقية حفظها التاريخ كانت وصايا من أب موظف متقاعد إلى ابن موظف ناشئ. وفرعون نفسه لم يكن إلا موظفاً معيناً من قبل الآلهة في السماء ليحكم الوادي من خلال طقوس دينية وتعاليم إدارية ومالية وتنظيمية. ووادينا وادي فلاحين طيبين يحنون الهامات نحو أرض طيبة ولكن رؤوسهم ترتفع لدى انتظامهم في سلك الوظائف، حينذاك يتطلعون إلى فوق، إلى سلم الدرجات المتصاعد حتى أعتاب الآلهة في السماء. الوظيفة خدمة للناس وحق للكفاءة وواجب للضمير الحي وكبرياء للذات البشرية وعبادة الله خالق الكفاءة والضمير والكبرياء. ↗

Unlike what you may be told in other sectors of life, when observing the universe, size does matter, which often leads to polite ‘telescope envy’ at gatherings of amateur astronomers. ↗

If you use a philosophy education well, you can get your foot in the door of any industry you please. Industries are like the blossoms on a tree while philosophy is the trunk - it holds the tree together, but it often goes unnoticed. ↗

... The desecration of women indicated the failure of human beings to honor and protect life and that this failing would, if we did not correct it, be the end of us all. p. xxxii ↗

They say that even the brightest star won't shine forever. But in fact, the brightest star would live the shortest amount of time. Feel free to extract whatever life lesson you want from that. ↗

We don't think a sustainable society need be stagnant, boring, uniform, or rigid. It need not be, and probably could not be, centrally controlled or authoritarian. It could be a world that has the time, the resources, and the will to correct its mistakes, to innovate, to preserve the fertility of its planetary ecosystems. It could focus on mindfully increasing quality of life rather than on mindlessly expanding material consumption and the physical capital stock. ↗
