Social Revolutions

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or revolutions:

    If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am:
    I’m a genuine philanthropist—all other kinds are sham.
    Each little fault of temper and each social defect
    In my erring fellow creatures, I endeavor to correct.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    If we study nature attentively, alike in its great revolutions and in its minutest works, it is impossible not to admit enchantment—giving the word its fullest meaning. Man can create no force; he can but use the only existing force, which includes all others, namely, Motion—the incomprehensible Breath of the sovereign maker of the universe.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
