An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON COMMUNITIES
I grew up in dirt-poor hillbilly country. We lived this dry-below-the-waist kind of scene. If you were a sensual woman, you were in league with that which is un-Christlike. Where I come from, a cockroach is a roach, and a cockerel is a rooster because they can't bring themselves to say cock.
Tori Amos (1963-, Canadian-born American musician, singer, songwriter)
Unless we take an active role in the lives of our communities, our communities will fail.
William Aramony
In communities where men build ships for their own sons to fish or fight from, quality is never a problem
J. A. Dever
Community is not made by force.
Afghani Proverb
We must join together -- parents, teachers, grass -- roots groups, organized labor and the business community -- to revitalize American education by setting a standard of excellence.
Ronald Reagan (1911-2004, American President (40th))
As individuals we live cooperatively, and, to the best of our ability, serve the community in which we live. Our own success, to be real, must contribute to the success of others.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962, American First Lady, columnist, lecturer, humanitarian)
You are a great person as long as you are the factor that keeps the community doing the right thing.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962, American First Lady, columnist, lecturer, humanitarian)
By union the smallest states thrive. By discord the greatest are destroyed.
Sallust (BC 86-34, Roman historian)
In order to stand well in the eyes of the community, it is necessary to come up to a certain, somewhat indefinite, conventional standard of wealth.
Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929, American social scientist)
