Quotes about society

A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity. (Robespierre Maximilien)
American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society exists for the benefit of its members, not the members for the benefit of society. (Robespierre Maximilien)
The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property. (Robespierre Maximilien)

Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery. (Robespierre Maximilien)
There is a dark invisible workmanship - that reconciles discordant elements - and makes them move in one society. (Robespierre Maximilien)
The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern. (Robespierre Maximilien)
American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it. (Robespierre Maximilien)
The happiness of society is the end of government. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society lives by faith, and develops by science. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Nor was civil society founded merely to preserve the lives of its members; but that they might live well: for otherwise a state might be composed of slaves, or the animal creation... nor is it an alliance mutually to defend each other from injuries, or for a commercial intercourse. But whosoever endeavors to establish wholesome laws in a state, attends to the virtues and vices of each individual who composes it; from whence it is evident, that the first care of him who would found a city, truly deserving that name, and not nominally so, must be to have his citizens virtuous. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society is held together by our need; we bind it together with legend, myth, coercion, fearing that without it we will be hurled into that void, within which, like the earth before the Word was spoken, the foundations of society are hidden. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society cares for the individual only so far as he is profitable. (Robespierre Maximilien)
I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. (Robespierre Maximilien)
We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society is composed of two great classes, those that have more dinners than appetite, and those who have more appetite than dinners. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society is divided into two classes, the shearers and the shorn. (Robespierre Maximilien)
We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology. (Robespierre Maximilien)
The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation. (Robespierre Maximilien)
You can tell all you need to about a society from how it treats animals and beaches. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society is a hospital of incurables. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society always consists in the greatest part, of young and foolish persons. (Robespierre Maximilien)
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs. (Robespierre Maximilien)
