children culture taught
We are not taught to be thinkers, but reflectors of our culture. Let's teach our children to be thinkers.
hatred greed patterns
No one is born with greed, prejudice, bigotry, patriotism and hatred; these are all learned behavior patterns.
materialistic structure
The entire money structure and materialistic society is a false society...
long lasts trouble
So your having trouble with your partner. Well ask yourself, if you were in a relationship with a replica of yourself how long would it last?
children book tired
I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so I used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. He said, “What happened then, daddy?” I said, “If you learn to read, you can find out. I'm too tired to read. I'll read to you tomorrow.” So, he had a need to want to learn how to read. Don't teach children how to read. Don't teach them mathematics. Give them a reason to want it. In school, they're working ass-backwards.
want trust-me i-want-you
I don't want you to trust me, I want you to question everything I say.

If you had a free society you couldn't get people to go to war, if you had an intelligent type of upbringing in ones children. They would say; There must be many other ways of solving problems other then killing people.

brain earth care
We have more than enough to take care of everybody on earth at this time. If we have a shortage of anything, it's very easy for science to make a substitute material. There's no shortage of anything except brains in Washington.
answers economic security
We will never know what anyone is really like, until everyone has economic security and doesn't have to answer to anyone else.
teaching men wisest-man
We must get away from this limited *I did this and I did that* and the self-centeredness, that dominates our society Today. It must be a privilege to serve members of society. Not that we want rewards or medals or honor for what we do, because it is just an honor to do it, if you cannot work for that, than you missed the boat. You don’t understand the teachings of the wisest men ever lived.
ego debate problem
We must learn to outgrow our egos in exchange for constructive dialogue rather than debate. In addition, we must be capable of stating problems and proposing solutions clearly and succinctly, without distortion of meaning or misunderstanding, even when these solutions are radically opposed to accepted norms.
greek problem polish
There are no negro problems, or Polish problems, or Jewish problems, or Greek problems, or women's problems, there are HUMAN PROBLEMS”.
