Human Radical

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or radical:

    All things by human laws created change:
    Lands to each other known, in time grow strange:
    Nations in course of many years put on
    A various face; but heaven wears always one.
    Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)

    A radical is one of whom people say “He goes too far.” A conservative, on the other hand, is one who “doesn’t go far enough.” Then there is the reactionary, “one who doesn’t go at all.” All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term “progressive.” I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselves—one who adjusts legislation to these new facts.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
