Quote

A workman is not just a workman. A laborer is not just a laborer. An office worker is not just an office worker. They are living, breathing, important pillars on which the entire structure of our civilization is erected. They are not cogs in a mighty machine. They are the machine itself.

L. Ron Hubbard

The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
The curve of imagination, the curve of brilliance and the curve of sanity are identical curves or at least similar curves... The more imagination a person has, why, the more intelligence, the more knowingness he has and the saner he's going to be.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Moses and the crooked snake... that turned into a stuck, that was actually a disintegrator pistol.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Scientology is the study of knowingness. It increases one's knowingness, but if a man were totally aware of what was going on around him, he would find it relatively simple to handle any outnesses in that.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
As long as children and young men and women find pleasure in study, they will continue studying throughout life - and upon that depends their happiness.
L. Ron Hubbard

Tolerance is a good cornerstone on which to build human relationships.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
If anyone is getting industrious trying to enturbulate [sic] or stop Scientology or its activities, I can make Captain Bligh look like a Sunday-school teacher. There is probably no limit on what I would do to safeguard Man's only road to freedom against persons who ... seek to stop Scientology or hurt Scientologists.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
I set out to try to help my fellow man and to do what little I could to make the world a better place.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
This relationship is the vessel wherein is nurtured the life force of both individuals, whereby they create the future of the human race in body and thought.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
The problem of South Africa is different than the world thinks. There is no native problem. The native worker gets more than white workers do in England! [...] The South African government is not a police state. It's easier on people than the United States government!
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
So we listen. We add up associations of people with people. When a push against Scientology starts somewhere, we go over the people involved and weed them out. Push vanishes.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
You'll find in Africans a fantastic amount of heavy space opera and so on, going on ... which makes the colored African very, very interesting to process because he doesn't know why he goes through all these dances ... and why he feels so barbarous.
L. Ron Hubbard

There is no more ethical group on this planet than ourselves.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
One of the ways you learn about life is to associate with people.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Let the child see Mama and Daddy both at least once a day. Never quarrel or argue in front of a baby or a child-it destroys security.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
A political system seeking to function amongst ignorant, illiterate and barbaric people could have marvelous principles but could only succeed in being ignorant, illiterate and barbaric unless one addressed the people one by one and cured the ignorance, illiteracy and barbarism of each citizen.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
I'll not always be here on guard. The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away. You won't always be here. But before you go, whisper this to your sons and their sons - The work was free. Keep it so.

I'm drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and greys.
