Freethinkers are those who are willing to
use their minds without prejudice and
without fearing to understand things that
clash with their own customs, privileges,
or beliefs. This state of mind is not common,
but it is essential for right thinking.
Leo Tolstoy
Everything that irritates us about others
can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Jung
If you do not say a thing in an irritating way,
you may as well not say it at all
because people will not trouble themselves
about anything that does not trouble them.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who are able to see beyond
the shadows and lies of their culture
will never be understood, let alone
believed, by the masses.
Plato
Free thinkers will always seem crazy to
those who can't see beyond conventions.
Never apologize for evolving
beyond people's comfort zone.
Albert Einstein
The task is not, so much to see what no one has
seen yet; but to think what nobody has thought
yet, about that which everybody sees.
Arthur Schopenhauer
People who say things like "I can't worry
about animals when there are humans
who need help" tend to do f*ck all
to help humans neither...
Kindness is kindness. Simple as that.
Ricky Gervais
Injustice results as much from treating unequals
equally as from treating equals unequally.
Aristotle
Wise men learn more from fools
than fools from the wise.
Cato The elder
The minority is generelly formed by those who
really have an opinion, while the strenght
of the majority is illusory, formed by
the gangs who have no opinion.
Soren Kierkegaard
It's easy to stand in the crowd
but it takes courage to stand alone.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cowards can never be moral.
Mahatma Gandhi
The question is not whether we will be extremists,
but what kind of extremists we will be. For hate
or for love? For the preservation of injustice
or for the extension of justice?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I'm not entitled to have an opinion unless
I can state the arguments against my position
better than the people who are in opposition.
I am qualified to speak only when
I've reached that state.
Charlie Munger
You should not honor men more than truth.
Plato
Two percent of the people think.
Three percent of the people think they think.
And ninty-five percent of the people
would rather die than think.
George Bernard Shaw
True morality consists not in following
the beaten track, but in finding the true path
for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Progress is impossible without change,
and those who cannot change their minds
cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt
the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
