Dynasties rise and fall according to what the Chinese used to call ‘the mandate of heaven’, but life for the peasant changes little.

Each and every one of us has been born into a given historical reality, ruled by particular norms and values, and managed by a unique economic and political system. We take this reality for granted, thinking it is natural, inevitable and immutable. We forget that our world was created by an accidental chain of events, and that history shaped not only our technology, politics and society, but also our thoughts, fears and dreams. The cold hand of the past emerges from the grave of our ancestors, grips us by the neck and directs our gaze towards a single future. We have felt that grip from the moment we were born, so we assume that it is a natural and inescapable part of who we are. Therefore we seldom try to shake ourselves free, and envision alternative futures.

Each and every one of us was created to carry out justice, judgment, truth and equity on the earth. It could be in different spheres of life, in various professions or in diverse gifting. But the mandate is clear, his nature must be reflected on the earth. If he is a God of justice, people must see his justice on earth. If he is a God of sound judgment, that sound mind must be revealed in people who identify themselves with him on daily basis. If God is truth, that truth must reign supreme on the earth even as he reigns over the universe. If fairness, impartiality, equity, are his essence, that should become dominant in any society

Each of the atoms composing what we call the Wealth of Nations owes its value to the fact that it is a part of the great whole. [. . .] Millions of human beings have laboured to create this civilization on which we pride ourselves to-day. Other millions, scattered through the globe, labour to maintain it. Without them nothing would be left in fifty years but ruins. [. . .] Science and industry, knowledge and application, discovery and practical realization leading to new discoveries, cunning of brain and of hand, toil of mind and muscle — all work together. Each discovery, each advance, each increase in the sum of human riches, owes its being to the physical and mental travail of the past and the present. By what right then can any one whatever appropriate the least morsel of this immense whole and say — This is mine, not yours?

Each one will always find in his age a reasonable reason to doubt

Each person is unique and different

Each society has its own masses and mass psychology, respectively, only the themes of this psychology are different.

Each time we talk, he listens to me ramble, then he tries to pass on some sort of life lesson. He warns me that money is not the most important thing, contrary to the popular view on campus. He tells me I need to be "fully human." He speaks of the alienation of youth and the need for "connectedness" with the society around me.

Each person is unique

Each time someone with a particular stigma makes a spectacle of himself by breaking a law, winning a prize, or becoming a first of his kind, a local community may take gossipy note of this; these events can even make news in the mass media of the wider society. In any case, they who share the noted person's stigma suddenly become accessible to the normals immediately around and become subject to a slight transfer of credit or discredit to themselves. Their situation thus leads them easily into living in a world of publicized heroes and villains of their own stripe, their relation to this world being underlined by immediate associates, both normal and otherwise, who bring them news about how one of their kind has faired.

Each person’s mental development and life achievements are determined by how they respond in different situations

Eating is not a crime. It’s not a moral issue. It’s normal. It’s enjoyable. It just is.

Ebbene non possiamo nasconderci che, nonostante la sua urgente necessità pratica e gli alti fini morali che si attribuisce, la lotta contro le forme di discriminazione partecipa di questo stesso movimento che trascina l'umanità verso una civiltà mondiale, distruttrice di quei vecchi particolarismi ai quali va l'onore di aver creato i valori estetici e spirituali che danno pregio alla vita, e che noi raccogliamo preziosamente nelle biblioteche e nei musei, perché ci sentiamo sempre meno sicuri di essere capaci di produrne altri altrettanto evidenti. Senza dubbio ci culliamo nel sogno che l'uguaglianza e la fraternità regneranno un giorno fra gli uomini, senza che la loro diversità venga compromessa. Ma se l'umanità non si rassegna a diventare la sterile consumatrice di valori che ha saputo creare nel passato, capace soltanto di dar vita a opere bastarde, a invenzioni rozze e puerili, dovrà imparare di nuovo che ogni vera creazione implica una certa sordità al richiamo di altri valori, arrivando fino al loro rifiuto se non addirittura alla loro negazione. Infatti non ci si può sciogliere nel godimento dell'altro, identificandosi con lui, e nello stesso tempo mantenersi diverso

Eccentrics with unseeing eyes glided through, savouring amid so much society their own particular loneliness and private sins and sorrows.

É de boa família, estudou, mas continua sendo um filho deste país. Respirou esta atmosfera desde que nasceu. Junto com o leite, bebeu a ideia de que o homem está um patamar acima da mulher.

Education is one of the greatest gift for mankind. Each one of us must seek this enlightenment.

Education is not a product but a relationship and a process; a relationship between student and lecturer, and process by which knowledge transforms the individual.

Eens heb ik gemeend dat menselijk zijn het hoogste doel was dat een mens kon nastreven, maar nu zie ik in dat dit bedoeld was om me vernietigen. Nu ga ik er trots op te zeggen dat ik onmenselijk ben, dat ik niet tot mensen en regeringen behoor, dat ik niets met geloofsbelijdenissen en principes te maken heb. Ik heb niets uitstaande met de krakende machine der mensheid - ik behoor tot de aarde!

Education is the key to self-development and empowerment

Education's role is not to lead society, but to procreate its norms. If society turns against education, then, dutifully, educational institutions will destroy themselves.

El hombre depresivo es el animal laborans que se explota a sí mismo voluntariamente, sin coacción externa.

Elijah is inexplicably moved by the broken columns and fragmented floors. He cannot help but find a meaning and a message in their poverty of stature. This is what remains, he thinks. It seems a valuable lesson on a day when card catalogs are dying, communications are deleted, and buildings crumble under the weight of society’s expectations.

Emigrate! As if a gentleman could abandon his own country! One could no more do that than one could roll up one's sleeves and go down into the muck.

Emma: You can demand that Pettibone retain my services, but you cannot make similar demands of the parents of the students. They will not entrust the education of their daughters to a woman who has removed her clothing for an artist, no matter how exalted that artist may be. Pettibone would become a school without students. No that avenue is closed to me now. Nicholas: Women disrobe for men other than their husbands every day. Emma: But they are not on exhibition in the Royal Academy. Nicholas: what of extenuating circumstances? Emma: You make no sense

Emotions when guided by conscience, can do wonders in the world of mortal humans – thoughts when guided by conscience, can manifest magnificent creativity on this planet – and behavior when guided by conscience, can transform this world into a real progressive abode of peace with the pure elements of compassion, kindness and courage flowing through the very spine of the society.

Empathy is the sunlight to the vampire of culture.

Empathy nurtures wisdom. Apathy cultivates ignorance.

En résumé, la société toute entière repose sur l’industrie. Celle-ci est à elle seule garantie de son existence, la source unique de toutes les richesses. La classe des producteurs - paysans, artisans, ouvriers, entrepreneurs - est la classe fondamentale, la classe nourricière de la société, celle sans laquelle aucune autre ne peut subsister. Dans cette optique, la politique telle que nous la concevons devrait n’être que la science de la production, c’est-à-dire la science qui pour objet d’instaurer l’ordre le plus favorable à tous les genres de production. Or nous vivons actuellement dans un monde renversé : la nation a admis pour principe fondamental que les pauvres doivent être généreux à l’égard des riches, et l’art de gouverner est réduit à donner aux frelons la plus forte portion du miel prélevé sur les abeilles. […] Les frelons sont les oisifs. […] Ceux qui piquent et font du mal sans apporter aucun bienfait : les rentiers, les propriétaires fonciers, les boursicoteurs, les politiciens, les nobles de Cour, les profiteurs d’héritages, les militaires de salon, les prêtres qui s’enrichissent au détriment des paroisses. Les abeilles produisent le bon miel dont tout le monde a besoin : le pain, l’acier, le charbon, les routes et les ponts, et toutes ces merveilles scientifiques et techniques sans lesquelles nous vivrions encore au Moyen-Âge. Or les frelons pillent les abeilles sans vergogne, cela est démontré chaque jour.

Entahlah. Mulanya kamu marah. Kemudian kamu lupa kamu marahkan apa. Atau kamu penat untuk menjadi marah. Atau kamu cuba bersuara tetapi tidak didengari. Begitulah.

Entrepreneurship must be owned by everyone to innovate and breakthrough to give value to the society.

Eric, you need to look at the whole picture," the PM said. "You look at the jobless as a huge pile of scrap and you're looking for what can be recycled. That's good. That's your job. But what you don't realise is that this pile of scrap itself serves a purpose. I need my zeros, Eric. They put fear in people; fear of crime and terrorism. They are a stark reminder to the stakeholders that what they despise today, they may end up joining tomorrow. It keeps them obedient. Remember that!

Es posible que tenga algo que ver con el trópico, aquí todo madura y se descompone con facilidad. Nada persiste.

Es gibt Menschen, die es zeitlebens einem Bettler nachtragen, daß sie ihm nichts gegeben haben.

Estos anuncios dolían a Yuichi. Sin poder evitarlo, le obligaban a pensar que la sociedad se basaba en la heterosexualidad, ese principio, enojoso hasta la exasperación, establecido por la mayoría.

Es (Tattoo) ist ein Hilferuf einer jungen Generation, gefangen in der Kurzlebigkeit unserer heutigen Welt. Man muss ihn nur verstehen und anhören.

Even if we grew up with the privilege of material prosperity there are no grounds for pride

Even if we accept the view that biochemical imbalances may contribute to depression and suicide, it is a mistake to assume that the biochemical aspect of the problem is entirely within the victim. It is also partly within the physiological makeup of the people around the suicide.

Even the loneliest and most solitary in the universe... the very cold space dust... will eventually come together to form a star.

Even though it may look like the wicked is gaining ground, God is still in control. We need to pray for our nations, pray for others, pray for forgiveness and mercy over people. We need to love no matter who we are talking to, whether they are Atheist, Moslems, Lesbians, Homosexuals or Pagans. We need to love them and share the love of God with them and not judge and see if we can rebuild our broken nations.

Ever since her being turned into a Churchill, she has out-Churchill'd them all in high and mighty claims.

Every authentic artist is engaged in this creating of the conscience of the race, even though he or she may be unaware of the fact. The artist is not a moralist by conscious intention, but is concerned only with hearing and expressing the vision within his or her own being. But out of the symbols the artist sees and creates—as Giotto created the forms for the Renaissance—there is later hewn the ethical structure of the society.

Events. Events in response to other events. Think about it. Nothing since the big bang has happened without a reason. And even the big bang might have come from something, because of something. One thing makes another thing, and then that thing makes the next thing. Look at these kids. These two brothers, still kids. They don't know themselves yet. They are acting in response, in reaction, passionate reaction to something that set them off, made them commit to violence. They would not be here if the United States had not invaded Iraq in 2003. The United States would not have had fertile ground for the lie it told about Irag, weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein, etc., etc., if not for Osama bin Laden and 9/11. Osama bin Laden would not have been able to recruit those men to learn how to fly planes and then crash them into buildings if not for propaganda about the persecution of the global Muslims, Afghanistan after the Russian invasion, Chechnya in the nineties, Bosnian genocides, or any instance of Islam under attack by the West, one culture trying to extinguish another. History is always a story of cause and effect.

Even with fasting and prayers you still need wisdom. At the root of every great accomplishment is wisdom. In all your getting get wisdom first.

Every country needs its whistleblowers. They are crucial to a healthy society. The employee who, in the public interest, has the independence of judgement and the personal courage to challenge malpractice or illegality is a kind of public hero.

Everybody wants to cut off the limb to to deal with the problem. You can’t just keep cutting off limbs and destroying fruit. We have to become committed enough to examine the root. The root of the problem in our community, in our country is a systematic problem. And until all who are a part of the problem admit their role in the problem, we will never have a holistic solution.

Every citizen must pray for its nation.

Every culture has its southerners -- people who work as little as they can, preferring to dance, drink, sing brawl, kill their unfaithful spouses; who have livelier gestures, more lustrous eyes, more colorful garments, more fancifully decorated vehicles, a wonderful sense of rhythm, and charm, charm, charm; unambitious, no, lazy, ignorant, superstitious, uninhibited people, never on time, conspicuously poorer (how could it be otherwise, say the northerners); who for all their poverty and squalor lead enviable lives -- envied, that is, by work-driven, sensually inhibted, less corruptly governed northerners. We are superior to them, say the northerners, clearly superior. We do not shirk our duties or tell lies as a matter of course, we work hard, we are punctual, we keep reliable accounts. But they have more fun than we do ... They caution[ed] themselves as people do who know they are part of a superior culture: we mustn't let ourselves go, mustn't descend to the level of the ... jungle, street, bush, bog, hills, outback (take your pick). For if you start dancing on tables, fanning yourself, feeling sleepy when you pick up a book, developing a sense of rhythm, making love whenever you feel like it -- then you know. The south has got you.

Every crisis is a wisdom crisis. If you have no peace around you then you lack wisdom.
