Quote of the day....

If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, 

should in terms renounce or

give up any natural right, 

the eternal law of reason and 

the grand end of society would absolutely 

vacate such renunciation. 

The right to freedom being 

the gift of Almighty God, 

it is not in the power of man

to alienate this gift and 

voluntarily become a slave.

-- Samuel Adams
(1722-1803), was known as 
the "Father of the American Revolution.

Homeostasis........

Where there is prejudice

There is neither learning 

Nor teaching. 

War....

One forgets there are 

Other ways to die.

--- Troy.

Quote of the day.....

We have to emancipate ourselves 

before we can emancipate others.

---Marcus Garvey.

                     *         *         *        *         *

Full Quote:

We are going to emancipate ourselves from 

mental slavery because..... 

whilst others might free the body, 

none but ourselves can free the mind. 

Mind is your only ruler, sovereign. 

The man who is not able to develop and use 

his mind is bound to be the slave of 

the other man who uses his mind…. 

Marcus Garvey, Nova Scotia, October 1937.

Lyrics:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit.

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty.

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly.

Won’t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

‘Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,

‘Cause none of them can stop the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look? Ooh!

Some say it’s just a part of it:

We’ve got to fulfill the Book.


Won’t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

‘Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our mind.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

‘Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look?

Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:

We’ve got to fulfill the book.

Won’t you have to sing

These songs of freedom? –

‘Cause all I ever had:

Redemption songs –

All I ever had:

Redemption songs:

These songs of freedom,

Songs of freedom.

Quote of the day........

There never did, there never will, and

there never can exist a parliament, or

in any country,.......... 

possessed of the right or the power of 

binding and controlling posterity 

to the `end of time,’ or of commanding 

for ever how the world shall be governed, or 

who shall govern it. ... 

Every age and generation must be 

as free to act for itself, in all cases, 

as the ages and generations.....

which preceded it.

-- Thomas Paine(1737-1809) 

US Founding father, pamphleteer, author


              *       *      *     *      *

Neither  in a conscious will of people 

or in any organized group

Nor in an individual invested in authority 

Lies all the wisdom......... 

To lead humanity.

--manu/manav.

Sanskritization.....

Sanskritization is an assemblage and

Codification of the existing.....

Families of root/native languages.

In wisdom.....

Pursuit of ambiguity leads to... 

Skewed judgement.

Quote of the day....

If language is not correct,

then what is said is not what is meant;

If what is said is not what is meant,

then what must be done remains undone;

If this remains undone,

morals and art will deteriorate;

If justice goes astray,

the people will stand about in 

helpless confusion.

Hence there must be 

no arbitrariness in what is said.

This matters above everything.

-- Confucius
[Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.)

Manufacturing Consent.......

There are no true consistencies...

In memory of Stephen Hawking.....

Remember to look up at the stars and 

not down at your feet.

Try to make sense of what you see and 

about what makes the universe exist. 

Be curious. 

And however difficult life may seem, 

there is always something you can do, 

and succeed at. 

It matters that you don’t just give up.

--Stephen Hawking, 
As he celebrated his 70th birthday.

quote of the day......

A single idea, if it is right, 

saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.

-- Jacques Maritain
(1882-1973) French Catholic philosopher

Quote of the day.....

A fact which is not denied but 

whose truths are rationalized  

loses its objective base. 

Quote of the day.....

I see that there are many young people here; 

as an old man, a little advice... 

Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, 

we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, 

in the social struggle, but if we search for it 

we'll have the strength to get up again and start over. 

The most beautiful thing about the day is that it dawns. 

There is always a dawn after the night has passed. 

Don't forget it, kids. 

The only losers are the ones who stop fighting.

--José_Mujica. 40th President of Uruguay.
On Sunday 7 December 2014.During a talk at 
the 28th Guadalajara International Book Fair (Mexico).

Quote of the day....

Only free men are.....

thoroughly grateful 

one to another.

-- Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677)

Quote of the day.....

In the general course of human nature, 

A power over a man's subsistence amounts to 

a power over his will.

-- Alexander Hamilton(1757-1804) 
Secretary of the Treasury

Quote of the day.....

It is maintained that a society is free only 

when dissenting minorities have room to 

throw their weight around. 

As a matter of fact, a dissenting minority feels 

free only when it can impose its will on the majority: 

what it abominates most is the dissent of the majority.

-- Eric Hoffer. (1902-1983) American author.
Philosopher. Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Quote of the day.....

The question is not, Can they reason? nor

Can they talk? but,

Can they suffer?

-- Jermy Bentham.

What matters........

What matters is....

 to find right kind of relationship 

with one another... 

Actually not theoretically and

if that relationship is corrupt, 

dishonest and exploiting 

then in  that relationship there is corruption.... 

Therefore in the world ....

corruption comes in to being.

while we live in conflict 

from the moment..... 

we are born till we die.

---J.Krishnamurthy.

How are we doing.....?

How are you doing ? 

Is probably a question....

Most of us never ask of a dog or pig or 

a bird or any animal species

One comes across in one's life...

But if one had asked the same of 

A fellow human being..... 

Then one is most probably doing it so 

Out of a superficial routine.

Quote of the day.....

Good comes in the form of confession.

-- Dostoevsky.
