My little friend Grildrig, you have made a most admirable panegyric upon your country. You have clearly proved that ignorance, idleness, and vice are the proper ingredients for qualifying a legislator. That laws are best explained, interpreted, and applied by those whose interests and abilities lie in perverting, confounding, and eluding them. I observe among you some lines of an institution which in its original might have been tolerable, but these half erased, and the rest wholly blurred and blotted by corruptions. It doth not appear from all you have said how any one virtue is required towards the procurement of any one station among you, much less that men are ennobled on account of their virtue, that priests are advanced for their piety or learning, soldiers for their conduct or valor, judges for their integrity, senators for the love of their country or counselors for their wisdom. As for yourself who have spent the greatest part of your life in traveling, I am well disposed to hope you may hitherto have escaped many vices of your country. But by what I have gathered from your own relation, and the answers I have with much pains wringed and extorted from you, I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth. - -jonathan Swift Although I have been at Webb only one summer and this year, I feel I have a fairly good idea of what goes on here and how to cope with it. I believe that my stay here has been profitable, but weighing it against all the concessions and sacrifices I have had to make, l do not know whether it has been worth it. I would like to give my special thanks to Mr. gl Mrs. Whitaker, Mr. gl Mrs. Holliman and Mrs. Norton for their special help during the summer session.

This world is a whole whose parts are bound together in solidarity, but this solidarity is meaningless unless rooted in respect for differences between individuals and cultures and in respect for paths toward development which have been freely chosen. UNESCO Medium-Term-Plan lt has always seemed strange to me, said Doc. The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpenss, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the product of the second. CANN E RY ROW Freedom only for the supporters of the government, only for the members of one party- however numerous they may be- is no freedom at all. Freedom is always exclusively for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of justice but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic. --Rosa Luxemburg A man who needs to sell his labor in order to buy bread and the man who controls both his employment and the price of bread are not equal. Their relationship is one of dependence and dominance. --President Julius Nyerere I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. l'm for justice no matter who it is for or against. l'm a human being first and foremost, and as such l'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole. --El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz fMalcolm-Xi
