Text Quotes
Rarely in modern times has there been such a revolution in commercial sentiment as occurred in 2008, or such a display in government and business of panic and helplessness  (Modern Times Quotes) It is not uncommon in modern times to see governments straining every nerve to keep the peace, and the people whom they represent, with patriotic enthusiasm and resentment over real or fancied wrongs, urging them forward to war  (Modern Times Quotes) One of the tragedies of modern times is that people have come to believe that something said by someone in the past, perhaps for illustrative or provocation purposes, actually represents that person’s beliefs at the time  (Modern Times Quotes) Never before in modern times has so much of the world been simultaneously hit by a confluence of economic and financial turmoil such as we are now living through  (Modern Times Quotes) Revolutions can no longer be achieved by minorities. No matter how energetic and intelligent a minority may be, it is not enough, in modern times at least, to make a revolution. The cooperation of a majority, and a large majority too, is needed  (Modern Times Quotes) For me, the value of a climb is the sum of three inseparable elements, all equally important: aesthetics, history, and ethics. Together they form the whole basis of my concept of alpinism. Some people see no more in climbing mountains than an escape from the harsh realities of modern times. This is not only uninformed but unfair. I don’t deny that there can be an element of escapism in mountaineering, but this should never overshadow its real essence, which is not escape but victory over your own human frailty  (Modern Times Quotes) Until, modern times when it became mostly a civic task, education was considered a sacred work. It was sacred because it involved the indwelling spirit in the student and because it required an awakened spirit in the teachers. Spirit to spirit, genius to genius, soul to soul go the true lessons that help young people become themselves. Ultimately, each person holds the key to the story trying to be lived from within, but first someone else must help unlock the mystery of one’s life  (Modern Times Quotes) Wherever we direct our view, we discover the melancholy proofs of our depravity; whether we look to ancient or modern times, to barbarous or civilized nations, to the conduct of the world around us, or to the monitor within the breast; whether we read, or hear, or act, or think, or feel, the same humiliating lesson is forced upon us  (Modern Times Quotes) There is great weight in the modern times of being monarch, the scrutiny and access is much more than in times gone by  (Modern Times Quotes) The curse of modern times is the propensity of male hormones in places where they can do the most damage  (Modern Times Quotes) We are not to expect perfection in this world; but mankind, in modern times, have apparently made some progress in the science of government  (Modern Times Quotes) Cablegate is 3,000 volumes of material. It is the greatest intellectual treasure to have entered into the public record in modern times  (Modern Times Quotes) How little do the most wonderful inventions of modern times detain us. They insult nature. Every machine, or particular application, seems a slight outrage against universal laws  (Modern Times Quotes) One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us  (Modern Times Quotes) The progress of the natural sciences in modern times has of course so much exceeded all expectations that any suggestion that there may be some limits to it is bound to arouse suspicion  (Modern Times Quotes) In modern times, if the sole measure of what’s out there flows from your five senses then a precarious life awaits you  (Modern Times Quotes) I’ve always tried to insert consciousness and spirituality in my records, interpreting the writings of all cultures and religions and how they apply to life in modern times  (Modern Times Quotes) In modern times, what impresses one is not a simple and unassuming statement of the truth, but superficial showmanship and display  (Modern Times Quotes) In prehistoric times, mankind often had only two choices in crisis situations: fight or flee. In modern times, humor offers us a third alternative; fight, flee - or laugh  (Modern Times Quotes) The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is  (Modern Times Quotes) If you look at that 2008 Democratic primary, there was no more formidable, unstoppable candidate - other than an incumbent President - in modern times than Hillary Clinton  (Modern Times Quotes) We have to get awakened to the fact that in recent decades, great destruction has been caused to our moral values as a result of our children, parents and families, getting influenced by the chaotic conditions of modern times  (Modern Times Quotes) In his book Modern Times, the historian Paul Johnson referred to Hitler, stalin, and Mussolini as the three devils of the twentieth century. Interestingly, nietzshean dogma influenced each of them  (Modern Times Quotes) In ancient days, the most celebrated precept was, know thyself; in modern times it has been supplanted by the more fashionable maxim, know thy neighbor, and everything about him  (Modern Times Quotes) That reproach of modern times, that gulf of time and fortune, the passion for gaming, which is so often the refuge of the idle sons of pleasure and often, alas! The last resource of the ruined  (Modern Times Quotes) Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility  (Modern Times Quotes)
