[Quote No.41950] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Education is a human right [or at the very least, vital from the point of all of our enlightened self-interests, because of its]...immense power to transform [people into their better selves, so they are even more capable of contributing to society and managing their own lives better]. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development [for us all, now and in the future, as history has shown so clearly]." - Kofi Annan

[Quote No.41957] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:] Freedom of the mind requires not only, or not even especially, the absence of legal constraints but the presence of alternative thoughts. The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities." - Alan Bloom

[Quote No.41979] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us -- and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along." - Carl Sagan

[Quote No.42111] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Remember absolute proof is so very rare in real life that we usually have to operate on the 'balance of probabilities' idea. Therefore we should always remain skeptical or else we exclude the opportunity to see and benefit from another 'better' (- or a more closer approximation of the) Truth. Therefore...] Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right." - Laurens van der Post

[Quote No.42233] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[When you meet someone with a different opinion to you, don't try to change their opinion necessarily, rather try to understand their thinking and reasons or else you may never correct your own erroneous ideas.] The question of who is right and who is wrong has seemed to me always too small to be worth a moment's thought, while the question of what is right and what is wrong has seemed all-important." - Albert J.

[Quote No.42236] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"There is tight and loose thinking... I'm convinced, however, that the application of serious [skeptical] contrary thinking and ruminating go a long way toward correcting thinking deficiencies. It takes mental discipline to practice contrary thinking - to read and needle - but those of us who have made the effort feel well repaid, I'm sure.
There is a vast difference, as I see it, between an open mind and a gapping mind. An active open mind is ready for ideas - pro and con - and is prepared to arrive at a conclusion. An open mind is not a wishy-washy one, whereas a gapping thought-apparatus takes in opinions and ideas of others and goes to sleep on them without further examination. [An open mind is critical and skeptical, developing contrary concepts and testing their validity with logical reasoning and consistency in analogies and their accuracy with careful experimentation and historical precedents]." - Humphrey B. Neill
Quote from his famous book, 'The Art of Contrary Thinking', published 1954.

"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:]
The media's the most powerful entity on earth.
They have the power to make the innocent guilty
and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power.

[Quote No.42252] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[In the great search for Truth, to allow real informed choice and therefore real freedom, it is important to distinguish between appearances and reality. This is a rare quality...] For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are." - Niccolo Machiavelli
(1469 - 1527), Italian Statesman and Political Philosopher. Quote from his 'Discourses', 1513-1517.

[Quote No.42263] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship: Keep an open mind to new ideas. Why?] Perhaps the sentiments...are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; [as] a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides [and then the ideas can be rationally considered and sometimes even found beneficial]." - Thomas Paine

"[Initially] Custom forms us all; our thoughts, our morals, our most fixed belief, are consequences of our place of birth [and what we are exposed to while growing up. However what we become throughout life should be the result of re-examining all that we think that we know and believe to allow our growing wisdom and insight to better inform our choices.]" - Aaron Hill
