The society is seen as an entity, a living organism in which humans are the components. If one human decides to live alone he also accepts the detachment from that society. No man can live alone because the society is the vital function of humanity, without the society we wouldn't have such things as ethics and morality(amongst others). A piece cannot be higher than the whole right? This is the case here: a man cannot be better alone than as part of the society. And to be one of the best is each man's goal I presume. I could tell u much more but I dont have time. Start with what I gave u so far. And don't forget: vote for the best answer!

The quote simply means to keep your eyes on the prize and to stay the course.  Societies with a long term vision will tolerate set backs if they stand united in a vision for the future.

It's  From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.\nThe full quote is\n\n"How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." \n\nIt's a story about a family dealing with the accidental death of the father.  See my source link to read more.\n\n(One interpretation:  Once you grow up and have your own life, even if you physically return to your childhood house, you can't return to that place of innocence and safety -- it's never "home" as it once was because you are a different person.)

It's a quote from "Hamlet" by Shakespeare.\n\nWhat seems crazy at first glance (madness) may have a logical pattern or reason (method).

1) This was Socrates, and he made this statement at his trial.  (Read the "Apology" by Plato.  Or take my word for it.)  What he meant was something like, "If we just go through life never asking why, what's the point?"  He believed that to truly find "the good life" we need to be willing to ask hard questions and come to know the truth.\n\n2)  This is another statement that leads toward the same basic idea.  The speaker (I can't remember who said this one off the top of my head) is suggesting that we cannot be successful until we come to know who we really are--why we do what we do.  So examining one's self is the first step that we must take if we are to live successful lives.

the poet is trying to say that people naturally judge people by the color of their skin rather than their character qualities. he ends the poem with a plea to everyone to not think superficially about a person by his color but to look deeper, because behind the skin color is a human person just like everyone else in the world. \n\nso it means that everywhere everyone should treat each other like equals because everyone is just human like everyone else. there are bad people all over the world; there are also friendly people all over the world.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.\n\nIn prosperity, our friends know us & in adversity, we know our friends. \n\nAnger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind. \n\nYou can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.\n\nLove...and you shall be loved. \n\nAll people smile in the same language. \n\nEveryone needs to be loved.. especially when they do not deserve it. \n\nThe real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity. \n\nEveryone has beauty but not everyone sees it. \n\nIt's important for parents to live the same things they teach. \n\nIf you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. \n\nThe choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow. \n\nTake time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul. \n\nPatience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. \n\nLove is strengthened by working through conflicts together. \n\nHarsh words break no bones but they do break hearts. \n\nTo get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. \n\nWe take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for. \n\nLove is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished. \n\nHappiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others. \n\nFor every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back. \n\nDo what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.

niiiiiiiiiiiiice quote.  I like it a lot.  I'll have to get that book.\n\nBasically, it says that if you are the type of person to let things roll over and over and over in your head without ever coming to some sort of resolution, you will always get behind in everything you really want to do in life.\n\nIn terms of respect, there are a couple of thoughts on this.  How will you respect yourself if you don't respect others?  How will you be perceived as an honorable person if you let others run over you or you straddle the fence on important issues all the time?  \n\nI disagree with one statement.  "You have to demand respect in this world,......"  Actually, I don't demand respect.  I don't have to because I can look at you or speak to you in such a way that the respect comes natural.  \n\nI command respect by my mere presence.

"All we are is dust in the wind....."\n\nIn knowing that our time on earth is finite, it is all the more sweet.  Savor each day, for it may be our last.

Memorable Quotes: I learned that when you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone, because you will have divine companionship and the support of good people. This same faith and cosmic companionship sustained me after my husband was assassinated, and gave me the strength to make my contribution to carrying forward his unfinished work. \n"I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation." \n\n"Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people." \n\n"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."\n\n"The value of life in our cities has become as cheap as the price of a gun." \n\n"In this country. we vigorously regulate the sale of medicine and severely limit the advertising of cigarettes because of their effect on human health. But we allow virtually anyone in America to buy a gun and virtually everyone in the nation to see graphic violence." \n\n"When I say I was married to the cause, I was married to my husband whom I loved -- I learned to love, it wasn't love at first sight -- but I also became married to the cause. It was my cause, and that's the way I felt about it. So when my husband was no longer there, then I could continue in that cause, and I prayed that God would give me the direction for my life....But then I finally determined that it was the King Center, because Martin's message and his meaning were so powerful....So I felt that my role, then, was to develop an institution, to institutionalize his philosophy, his principles of nonviolence and his methodology of social change, and that's what I have spent my years doing."

Pretty much the quote states that even the more powerful people in the world make mistakes and aren't always correct in their ways of solving problems.  And that a truly good person would be able to see that they're way isn't the right way and will allow other solutions to the problem, as long as the problem gets resolved peacefully.  And that the worst thing a person can do is be too proud to take someone else's advice.  In Antigone, her father I believe (it's been a while since I read this) is so set in his ways and believing he's right, that he won't see things from Antigone's point of view.  Due to his pride, it results in his daughter's death (I'm pretty sure she dies in this), which is not an affective solution to the problem.  I'm sorry I can't remember quotes and things of that sort.  But I hope I put you on the right track!  Good luck!

I believe this is a quote of Holden Caufield from J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. In telling us his story he begins to miss everybody. In a sense he is saying nostalgia is self perpetuating or futile.

I'm not entirely sure of the context of this qoute, but I would guess that it is telling a race of poeople who have been historically oppressed by others that they should work together and try to overthrow their oppressors/ achieve a certain goal because they can do anything when together and they are not inferior, even though they might have been told so by their oppressors.
