A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate.
Iain Duncan Smith
Image
If you think advantage lies in resources, then you think the best educational system is the one that spends the most money.
Malcolm Gladwell
Image
If somebody can create an absolute system of beliefs and rules of conduct that will guide a business man at eleven o'clock in the morning, a boy trying to select a career, a woman in an unhappy love affair--well then, surely no pragmatist will object. He insists only that philosophy shall come down to earth and be tried out there.
Walter Lippmann
Image
Not only are there African accomplices inside the imperialist system, but every African has a responsibility to understand the system and work for its overthrow.
Walter Rodney
Image
As a means of dispensing formulated ignorance our boasted public school system is not without merit it spreads out education sufficiently thin to give everyone enough to make him a more competent fool than he would have been without it.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
The great disadvantage of our present electoral system is that it freezes the pattern of politics, and holds together the incompatible because everyone assumes that if a party splits it will be electorally slaughtered
Roy Jenkins
Image
In absolutely every way, our lives are transformed by education and basic education in particular. So I would have thought that in any kind of system, to say that the priorities don't include education is a mistake, whether it's [at the] domestic level or at the global level.
Amartya Sen

I think there's this great disconnect between youth culture and politics, which is a product of how our capitalist system works. I mean, a lot of the kids I know are really politically involved. They really care about politics. I think we're going to have an incredible impact on how politics end up shaking this country.

Basically the tax reform ideas are to clean up the tax system and to eliminate the loopholes that only very few make use of, to eliminate the possibility of people making millions of dollars every year and not paying any tax at all through oil depletion allowances and things like that.
Warren Beatty
Image
Look to the nervous system as the key to maximum health.
Galen
Image
The framers, in their wisdom, designed the [political] system so that power's pretty disbursed.
Barack Obama
Image
I view derivatives as time bombs, both for the parties that deal in them and the economic system.
Warren Buffett
Image
If an American company has a drop of patriotic blood coursing through its system, then surely it would set up in America and employ Americans, right?
Henry Rollins
Image
After I got out of the studio system, I was completely [broke] for the 30th time they said I’d never work again. So I’m going to go and produce those movies that they wouldn’t let me do.
George Hamilton
Image
If I got any good ideas out of that or I think they're good ideas, I'll be glad to contribute them but the system will probably overdo some other things.
Warren Buffett
Image
Much education springs from some image of the future. If the image of the future held by a society is grossly inaccurate, its education system will betray its youth.
Alvin Toffler
Image
It would be a mistake to assume that the present day educational system is unchanging. On the contrary, it is undergoing rapid change. But much of this change is no more than an attempt to refine the existent machinery, making it ever more efficient in pursuit of obsolete goals.
Alvin Toffler
Image
You have a new media system and Donald Trump emerged as a new master of it.
Van Jones
Image
It's wrong to focus only on economic cooperation and then to hope that a sufficiently stable system will become democratic more or less by itself. The EU needs to urge its neighbors to pursue both economic stability and political modernization in equal measures.
Alvaro de Vasconcelos
Image
The King's 28 letters have been described by scholars as the world's best alphabet and the most scientific system of writing.
Jared Diamond
Image
Asking the legal system to resolve divorce is like asking a boxing coach to be our marriage counselor.
Warren Farrell
Image
The iPod is a perfect example of Steve's [Jobs] methodology of starting with the user and looking at the entire end-to-end system.
John Sculley
Image
If women had to promise to provide for a man for a lifetime before he removed his veil and showed her his smile, would we think of this as a system of female privilege?
