The world isn't kept ordsprog

en The world isn't kept running because it's a paying proposition. (God doesn't make a cent on the deal.) The world goes on because a few men in every generation believe in it utterly, accept it unquestioningly; they underwrite it with their lives.
  Henry Miller

en If you ask a member of this generation two simple questions: ''How do you want the world to be in fifty years?'' and ''What do you want your life to be like five years from now?'' the answers are quite often preceded by ''Provided there is still a world'' and ''Provided I am still alive.'' To the often-heard question, Who are they, this new generation? one is tempted to answer, Those who hear the ticking. And to the other question, Who are they who utterly deny them? the answer may well be, Those who do not know, or refuse to face, things as they really are.
  Hannah Arendt

en In terms of the human lives lost, this is the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world today. It is beyond belief that the world is not paying more attention.

en In the modern world we have invented ways of speeding up invention, and people's lives change so fast that a person is born into one kind of world, grows up in another, and by the time his children are growing up, lives in still a different world
  Margaret Mead

en The global economy today is growing at its fastest pace in 30 years: five per cent in 2004, four per cent in 2005 and will continue robust growth expected in 2006. Indeed, there is a world of unprecedented opportunities for business industries and markets in every region of the world including Jamaica and the Caribbean nations.

en The theory is it's more of a 'me' generation, while the World War II generation didn't have the 'what's in it for me' mentality. Or maybe it's just unawareness because they have lived in their own world for so long and don't see the needs that are out there.

en The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after the death of the vegetated [i.e. mortal] body. This world of imagination is infinite and eternal, whereas the world of generation is finite and temporal. There exist in that eternal world the eternal realities of everything which we see reflected in this vegetable glass of nature.
  William Blake

en I'm focusing on a world divided between rich and poor, and a world that doesn't seem to be able to manage the natural base of our lives: air, oceans, or biodiversity. It's a mistake to think that globalization is automatically beneficent and should run its due course-but also to think that it ought to be shut down.

en Every generation needs to know the details of their history so they can impact lives and contribute to their society in the future. Behold the People teaches children the story of many people who have worked hard to make their world a better place to live in.

en This is a situation where if we don't do what we should here, we will be foregoing the leadership and research throughout the world, to make a difference in the lives of over a hundred million people in this country and millions more world wide,

en The first world (best) is exciting, especially when it comes as a surprise. Sometimes you get on the track and you know that you've been running close to a world record and then it doesn't happen. Today is like an extra blessing and it was a really nice thing to happen.

en Language was just our way to explain away the wonder and the glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. People can't deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can't be explained and understood. We don't live in the real world anymore, we live in a world of symbols.
  Chuck Palahniuk

en I suspected that after Deal or No Deal became a hit, every company in the world would be gathering up formats and pitching shows to the networks. We felt we had a limited window of opportunity. So rather than wait for a show to be created in Holland or another country and slowly make its way around the world, we wanted to specifically develop shows for the United States.

en As with everything else in life, sometimes things are inches from being completely and utterly different. But the best thing to do is deal with the reality and accept it as it is. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

en It is greatest to believe and to hope well of the world, because he who does so, quits the world of experience, and makes the world he lives in
  Ralph Waldo Emerson
