President tends to feel that he cannot go beyond what the public will support him in doing. So he tries not to decide what is the best course so much as to decide what the people will support.
Walter Millis
Image
Grassroots organizing tends to be most available to big campaigns, but it's actually most useful to small ones. You can't win a presidential campaign without going on TV, but you can win a local election simply by organizing your community. NationBuilder levels the playing field.

When we do work in places like China and Vietnam, research tends to be really effective as a way of getting change, whereas in more open places, mobilization and the creation of public pressure through the media often seem to be the things we try.
Duncan Green
Image
Your hair tends to get used to the product you use. Every month or so I change it out.
Sasha Pieterse
Image
It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.
Peter McWilliams
Image
When you cut down to the micro-level in the West, I think we have a great deal to be worried about. And it's odd because the American leadership, again in both parties, tends to take comfort in the idea that bin Laden is just an inspirational symbol now.
Michael Scheuer
Image
Successful action tends to become an end in itself.
Eric Hoffer
Image
Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
Linus Torvalds
Image
I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power...power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
Image
I think that being mindful of your own biases tends to lead you into ambiguity, not clarity, and that following those ambiguities is the only way to approach the universal.
James Arthur
Image
A person who loves community tends to destroy it. But a person who loves people creates community wherever he goes.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
Image
So, short stories have an even harder time, because they tend to get read during the day, between other things. They're interstitial. And yet the content of short stories tends to be very much nighttime content.
Lorin Stein
Image
Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.
Walter Benjamin
Image
The comic convention itself tends to come second to the giant announcements in Hall H and the movies and the TV. So I think it's always good to remind people that there is a wonderful comic convention going on.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Ours is indeed a culture that tends to assign value to a woman based on her sex appeal rather than her character, and that’s something we must work to change.
Rachel Held Evans
Image
One tends to write beyond what's needed
James Schuyler
Image
Fulfillment of desire taken to extremes doesn't necessarily make us happy. It tends to make us rather cynical.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users dont have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.
Richard Stallman
Image
Nothing tends so much to the advancement of knowledge as the application of a new instrument.
Humphry Davy
Image
Throughout history people with disabilities have been institutionalized and segregated, which tends to make you think that it's a group in need of charity. It's not about charity, it's about empowerment.
Jay Ruderman
Image
The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.
Wallace D. Wattles
Image
Like most North Americans of his generation, Hal tends to know way less about why he feels certain ways about the objects and pursuits he's devoted to than he does about the objects and pursuits themselves. It's hard to say for sure whether this is even exceptionally bad, this tendency.
David Foster Wallace
Image
Right action tends to be defined in terms of general individual rights and standards that have been critically examined and agreed upon by the whole society.
