There are massive efforts on the part of the internet’s corporate owners to try to direct it to become a technique of marginalisation and control.
Noam ChomskyOur focus needs to be less on what our legacy’s going to be or how we can control each other and more how we can give to each other.
Kanye WestMany Communist government officials have a rigid, dictatorial power, but they live in constant suspicion and fear of anything that might undermine the power they have.
Thich Nhat HanhWhen you look at how much we spend on social programs in our country, it separates us from a lot of countries. In our country, if you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. If you’re homeless, we’ll house you. If you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor. But all of that comes at a cost.
John KennedyThe year I was born, 1955, the first big disease-eradication program in the world was declared for malaria. After about a decade of work, they realized that, at least in the tropical areas, they did not have the tools to get it done.
Bill GatesIf you’re in a confined aircraft; when one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft.
Joe BidenModern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
John RuskinIt’s very difficult to regulate yourself, and if you learn to do that, well, it starts to spill over.
Jordan PetersonI’m opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period.
Kamala HarrisWith artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon. You know all those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, and he’s like, yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon? Doesn’t work out.
Elon MuskWhen I was writing the Destiny’s Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn’t know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it.
Beyonce KnowlesScience investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small.
Billie EilishThe art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
VoltaireWhen you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.
Robert GreeneI’m thankful for the incredible advances in medicine that have taken place during my lifetime. I almost certainly wouldn’t still be here if it weren’t for them.
Billy GrahamThe baby boomers are getting older, and will stay older for longer. And they will run right into the dementia firing range. How will a society cope? Especially a society that can’t so readily rely on those stable family relationships that traditionally provided the backbone of care?
Terry PratchettI believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there’s no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.
Edmund HillaryControl is the source of strategic power.
Noam ChomskyAs a medical doctor, I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying, suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.
Russell M. NelsonThe more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.
Noam ChomskyTo enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
BuddhaAnger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
Benjamin FranklinI can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.
Paulo CoelhoI think it’s horrible that people have to be told. Don’t smoke! Everybody knows it’s bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.
Karl LagerfeldYou’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
BonoMy relationship to power and authority is that I’m all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerLet us give publicity to H.I.V./AIDS and not hide it, because the only way to make it appear like a normal illness like TB, like cancer, is always to come out and say somebody has died because of H.I.V./AIDS, and people will stop regarding it as something extraordinary.
Nelson MandelaMichelle and I don’t want anyone telling us who our family’s doctor should be – and no one should decide that for you either. Under our proposals, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance. Period, end of story.
Barack ObamaIt’s a disgrace that we have millions of people who are uninsured.
Colin PowellI used to worry about every little thing, trying to figure out every problem. Well, I realize now how foolish that was. I was no more in control of my life than the man on the moon.
Joyce MeyerThe more a person seeks security, the more that person gives up control over their life.
Robert KiyosakiPanic plays no part in the training of a nurse.
Elizabeth KennyThe Chinese have figured out that they have a giant environmental problem. Folks in Beijing, some days, literally can’t breathe. Over a million Chinese die prematurely every year because of air pollution.
Joe BidenDoctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.
Napoleon BonaparteIt seems sensible to me that we should look to the medical profession, that over the centuries has helped us to live longer and healthier lives, to help us die peacefully among our loved ones in our own home without a long stay in God’s waiting room.
Terry PratchettThe atomic bomb certainly is the most powerful of all weapons, but it is conclusively powerful and effective only in the hands of the nation which controls the sky.
Lyndon B. JohnsonI have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
Carl JungExtreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.
HippocratesWhen the external factors over which one has no control in a way start to become negative, it starts to affect our creative juices.
Stephen CoveyI am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.
Terry PratchettI believe we have to nip Ebola in the bud before it spreads through Africa and to other countries.
Mark ZuckerbergI always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn’t feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It’s a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.
Ariana GrandeGetting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You’re not out of it until the computer says you’re out of it.
Erma BombeckWe’ve got to keep our eye on what’s happening with Russia and North Korea. We cannot lose sight of domestic policy, either. Healthcare. Immigration. Climate change.
Kamala HarrisBut if you – if what – the reports are true, what they’re saying is, is that as a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that’s going to increase our costs, we knew that.
Barack ObamaBreast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live.
Angelina JolieFor the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.
Karl MarxMedical costs are of concern, both in developing and developed countries.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamThe thing is, if you control the Senate meetings, you control the gavel. And the gavel is a very important instrument… an instrument of power. An instrument that establishes the agenda.
Dan QuayleThe only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment.
Franklin D. RooseveltSo long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you’ve served us – because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.
Barack ObamaThose who want the Government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination.
Harry S. TrumanI’m the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it’s still about the work.
Jim CarreyIf you understand the universe, you control it, in a way.
Stephen HawkingI will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.
Barack ObamaThe world has been very careful to pick very few diseases for eradication, because it is very tough.
Bill GatesWhat we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
C. S. LewisWhen I told my doctor I couldn’t afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays.
Henny YoungmanFreedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.
Epictetus
