He attempts to find out what is wrong and set it right.
~Bertrand Russell, Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization?'s tribute sayings inspirational sports quotes

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you
~quotes about family wisdoms by Author Unknown

~inspirational saying about Family quotes by

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Make the most of the fact that life is always changing. Change it for the better.

~inspirational saying about Family quotes by Ralph Marston

Consider the man on horseback, and I have been a man on horseback for most of my life. Well, mostly he is a good man, but there is a change in him as soon as he mounts. Every man on horseback is an arrogant man, however gentle he may be on foot. The man in the automobile is one thousand times as dangerous. I tell you, it will engender absolute selfishness in mankind if the driving of automobiles becomes common. It will breed violence on a scale never seen before. It will mark the end of the family as we know it, the three or four generations living happily in one home. It will destroy the sense of neighborhood and the true sense of Nation. It will create giantized cankers of cities, false opulence of suburbs, ruinized countryside, and unhealthy conglomerations of specialized farming and manufacturing. It will make every man a tyrant.
~motivation family quotes by R.A. Lafferty, written in the late 1800s, as quoted in Adbusters, Spring 1996
