"The feeling of patriotism - It is an immoral feeling because, instead of confessing himself a son of God . . . or even a free man guided by his own reason, each man under the influence of patriotism confesses himself the son of his fatherland and the slave of his government, and commits actions contrary to his reason and conscience."

- Leo Tolstoy, Patriotism and Government

PS Ik wil hier pleiten voor een verruiming van de 'Leerkracht-quote van de (week-)dag'. Het is toch niet omdat het door leraars (in-spe) wordt gepost, dat het alleen maar betrekking hoeft te hebben op onderwerpen die sensu stricto gerelateerd zijn aan het onderwijs zelf, of wel? Maar vooral: de 'schuifbalk' op de openingspagina is met de nieuwe VB-versie verdwenen ( :( ), en bijgevolg kan ik mij hier 'vollen bak' laten gaan ( :D )
Maar als Davy hier echt een punt van maakt... :confused:

Laat u gaan Barst... laat u gaan... :D

Ik hou het hier wel tot de kern dan... ;)

'There is no need to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning. '

- Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986, Indian Theosophist )

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein

Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.
Thomas Jefferson

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity

George Bernard Shaw

A terrorist is someone who has a bomb but doesn't have an air force

"To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire, and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace."

Tacitus - Roman historian - c. 55-120 A.D.

"If a baseball player slides into home plate and, right before the umpire rules if he is safe or out, the player says to the umpire - 'Here is $1,000.' What would we call that? We would call that a bribe. If a lawyer was arguing a case before a judge and said, 'Your honor before you decide on the guilt or innocence of my client, here is $1,000.' What would we call that? We would call that a bribe.
"But if an industry lobbyist walks into the office of a key legislator and hands her or him a check for $1,000, we call that a campaign contribution. We should call it a bribe."

Janice Fine - Dollars and Sense magazine

"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, Discourses, 1513-1517

"...free enterprise, [is] a term that refers, in practice, to a system of public subsidy and private profit, with massive government intervention in the economy to maintain a welfare state for the rich."

Noam Chomsky

"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."

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

"We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. We cannot afford to use methods of which we will be ashamed when we look back, when we say, '...we shouldn't have done that.'

Desmond Tutu

"...needy men, and hardy, not contented with their present condition, as also all men that are ambitious of military command, are enclined to continue the causes of warre; and to stirre up trouble and sedition: for there is no honour Military but by warre; nor any such hope to mend an ill game, as by causing a new shuffle."

Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Part I, ch. 11

"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Isaiah (ch. II, v. 4)

"It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably."


Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)

"Als ik wist dat morgen de wereld zou vergaan, dan zou ik vandaag nog een boom planten"

Maarten Luther

Il est curieux que le courage physique soit si répandu en ce monde et le courage moral si rare.

Mark Twain

Gebrek aan dromen = bedrog
 

In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares.

The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares.

Wijs... al te wijs
 

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)

Mass-Media Deception
 

"The process [of mass-media deception] has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt.... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies - all this is indispensably necessary."

George Orwell in the book 1984

Lao Tse
 

"A great nation is like a great man: When he makes a mistake, he realizes it. Having realized it, he admits it. Having admitted it, he corrects it. He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent teachers. He thinks of his enemy as the shadow that he himself casts. If a nation is centred in the Tao, if it nourishes its own people and doesn't meddle in the affairs of others, it will be a light to all nations in the world"

Lao Tzu - Source: Tao Te Ching, Chapter 61

Vader
 

Vader – een vrucht van emancipatie is dat vader niet noodzakelijkerwijs een blanke, heteroseksuele man behoeft te zijn – moet terugkeren in onze maatschappij en wel op alle niveaus. Vader als steller en handhaver van de Wet. Vader als filosoof. Vader als formuleerder en handhaver van het collectief beleefde stelsel van normen en waarden, waaraan we ons als gemeenschap kunnen toetsen en vormen, zonder hetwelk onze gemeenschappen op termijn ten dode zijn opgeschreven. Vader dient terug te keren in het gezin, op school, in de vereniging, in de buurt, in de bedrijven en de instellingen en ten slotte in het publieke domein. Op mijn generatie, die geweigerd heeft dit vaderschap op zich te nemen, rust de zware taak dit nú wel te doen in het zicht van de ontbinding van onze gemeenschappen. Het zal geen traditioneel vaderschap kunnen zijn. De nieuwe vader heeft zich te verstaan met de moderniteit, is dus internationaal georiënteerd en informeert zich zo goed mogelijk. Hij overtuigt en maakt slechts spaarzaam gebruik van machtsmiddelen en machtsinstrumenten. Vader is dus een groot communicator.

P. Fortuyn
