I am not an ordsprog

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

Laws and institutions must go hand and hand with the progress of the human mind

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

There is no reason to accept the doctrines crafted to sustain power and privilege, or to believe that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws. These are simply decisions made within institutions that are subject to human will and that must face the test of legitimacy. And if they do not meet the test, they can be replaced by other institutions that are more free and more just, as has happened often in the past.

Avram Noam Chomsky (1928-)

Avram Noam Chomsky

Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity.

Lord Acton (1834-1902)

Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. America's game: has the snap, go, fling, of the American atmosphere - belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Walt Whitman

Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilized people is poetical.

Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859)

Thomas Babington Macaulay

It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves.

Karl Marx mamma (1818-1883)

For these students and faculty who are a part of founding this institution, they now have a skill or expertise in building new institutions that is important for all institutions making change. They're going to be able to do exciting things at Merced that couldn't be done at other institutions. I don't think it's a big gamble.

Claire Van Ummersen

In many respects, these institutions aren't very similar. On the other hand, football has been a big part of the history of the institutions.

Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.

Karl von Clausewitz (1780-)

Karl von Clausewitz

I am actually campaigning under the laws that exist now. And if those laws change, I will be happy to campaign under the new laws that come about.

It is time for the world, the hemisphere and the region to make sure that relevant institutions of civil society and relevant laws are embedded in the mechanisms of governance.

Baldwin Spencer

Laws are not untouchable. If necessary we can change these laws. However, first we will see how these laws are interpreted.

On one hand, we've got to get all these new teachers up to speed regarding our institutions policies, ... On the other hand, new blood is good.
