Intervention Quotes - Page 18

• Death is not regarded as a natural affair by primitive man. Death is believed to be due to the intervention of some malevolent or at least not well disposed power. Normally it should not take place. So we have all through history crude explanations of death, as e.g., the influence of the serpent, the devil, sin.

• It is now conceded that all idea of British intervention is at an end... I want to hug the army of the Potomac. I want to get the whole army of Vicksburg drunk at my own expense. I want to fight some small man and lick him.

• El momento y las características de la intervención estatal afectan no sólo a las tácticas y estrategias organizativas, sino al contenido y la definición del propio interés... Algunos estudiosos han subrayado directamente que las intervenciones estatales crean formas corporativistas... la formación, por no hablar de las capacidades políticas, de fenómenos tan puramente socioeconómicos como los grupos de interés y las clases depende en gran medida de las estructuras y actividades de los propios Estados sobre los que los actores sociales, a su vez, tratan de influir.

• Debemos expresar la opinión, basada en nuestras observaciones empíricas, de que un número considerable de periodistas son ignorantes, perezosos, opinadores e intelectualmente deshonestos. La profesión está plagada de viejos profesionales que trabajan en un miasma de creciente decrepitud y a menudo alcoholismo, y más aún de jóvenes arrogantes y abrasivos que sustituyen la perspicacia por el "compromiso". El producto de su apasionada intervención en los asuntos públicos es más a menudo la confusión que la lucidez.

• We are too solicitous for government intervention, on the theory, first, that the people themselves are helpless, and second, that the Government has superior capacity for action. Often times both of these conclusions are wrong.

• You should not think that you can shape history only by your will. This is also why I'm against the concept of intervention when you don't know its ultimate implications.

• In the search for meaning we must not forget that the gods (or God, for that matter) are a concept of the human mind; they are the creatures of man, not vice versa. They are needed and invented to give meaning and purpose to the struggle that is life on Earth, to explain strange and irregular phenomena of nature, haphazard events and, above all, irrational human conduct. They exist to bear the burden of all things that cannot be comprehended except by supernatural intervention or design.

• En la medida en que el pueblo esté acostumbrado a manejar sus asuntos por su propia intervención activa, en lugar de dejarlos en manos del gobierno, sus deseos se dirigirán a repeler la tiranía, en lugar de tiranizar: mientras que en la medida en que toda la iniciativa y dirección reside en el gobierno, y los individuos habitualmente se sienten y actúan como bajo su tutela perpetua, las instituciones populares desarrollan en ellos no el deseo de libertad, sino un apetito desmedido por el lugar y el poder.

• The Second World War ended with a radicalization of the population in the United States and everywhere else, and called for all kinds of things like popular takeovers, government intervention, and worker takeovers of factories. Business propagated a tremendous propaganda offensive. The scale surprised me when I read the scholarship - it's enormous, and it's been very effective. There were two major targets: one is unions, the other is democracy.

• The Andes region is not stable. So we can expect to see more US intervention. It could be under any kind of pretext. We can no longer use the Russians as an excuse, as we did in Central America in the 1980's, so drugs will have to do.

• [T]he mass-man sees in the State an anonymous power, and feeling himself, like it, anonymous, he believes that the State is something of his own. Suppose that in the public life of a country some difficulty, conflict, or problem presents itself, the mass-man will tend to demand that the State intervene immediately and undertake a solution directly with its immense and unassailable resources. This is the gravest danger that to-day threatens civilisation: State intervention; the absorption of all spontaneous social effort by the State.

• This is no time to let down our guard on youth violence. Research demonstrates that appropriate interventions made during or prior to adolescence can direct young people away from violence toward healthy and constructive lives.

• FDR was enormously influenced by this, and afraid. I mean, his intervention was to save capitalism. It wasn't to basically appease the workers. And I think that today you don't have those movements.
