[Quote No.60242] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Be skeptical because uncritical trusting is dangerous. Never forget lying, fraud, propaganda, self-deception and incompetence are incredibly common:-] Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes.
Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.
We want to accomplish three things:
One, we want the Americans to withdraw conventional forces from Europe.
Two, we want them to withdraw nuclear forces from Europe.
Three, we want the Americans to stop proceeding with Strategic Defense Initiative." - Mikhail Gorbachev
(1931- ) General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the last head of state of the USSR (1985-1991). Source: speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987.

[Quote No.60261] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country... Only the emergency that makes it immediately dangerous to leave the correction of evil counsels to time warrants making any exception to the sweeping command, 'Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech.' " - Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
(1841-1935) US Supreme Court Justice, also known as 'The Great Dissenter'. Source: Abrams et al v. United States, 1919.

"Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely yours.
[Throughout your life, you'll be inundated with information and people telling you what you should or shouldn't do. Take everything with a grain of salt and decide for yourself what works for you. In life there are countless ways of doing things, there's no right or wrong. Learn from others and discover what works for you and make it your own.]" - Bruce Lee

[Quote No.60373] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[In order to learn, it can be useful to search for, note, collect and organise information on personal and professional subjects you are interested in:] A common-place book is what a provident poet cannot subsist without, for this proverbial reason, that 'great wits have short memories;' and whereas, on the other hand, poets being liars by profession, ought to have good memories. To reconcile these, a book of this sort is in the nature of a supplemental memory; or a record of what occurs remarkable in every day's reading or conversation. There you enter not only your own original thoughts, (which, a hundred to one, are few and insignificant) but such of other men [for example - their quotes] as you think fit to make your own by entering them there." - Jonathan Swift
In his book 'A Letter of Advice to a Young Poet'.

Grow strong, my comrade ... that you may stand
Unshaken when I fall; that I may know
The shattered fragments of my song will come
At last to finer melody in you;

Where passing I leave off, and fathom more.

[Quote No.60563] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda: Seek advice from others:] One might expect that a wise person to whom people come for advice would rely on his own wisdom and not feel a need to consult others. Whereas a fool should realize he frequently makes mistakes and should therefore seek counsel from others before taking action. In reality, it is just the opposite. The wise person, though justified in relying on his own judgment, nevertheless listens to the advice of others. He realizes his biases and prejudices might cause him to make errors in his own matters. The fool, however, who should realize how often he makes mistakes, considers himself wise and does not listen to what others have to say." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] It is good that new ideas should be heard, for the sake of the few that can be used; but it is also good that new ideas should be compelled to go through the mill of objection, opposition, and contumely; this is the trial heat which innovations must survive before being allowed to enter the human race. It is good that the old should resist the young, and that the young should prod the old; out of this tension, as out of the strife of the sexes and the classes, comes a creative tensile strength, a stimulated development, a secret and basic unity and movement of the whole." - Will Durant

"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda: Skepticism is important:] A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth." - Aldous Huxley
