Misguided Public Opinion

“When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe.”
--Frédéric Bastiat

Honors

“Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.”
--Mignon McLaughlin

Deserving Dignity

“Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.”
--Aristotle

Mind Matters

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
--Albert Einstein
