Our small ears never had such a workout as on the Fourth of July, hearing not only our own bursting crackers but also those of our friends, and often the boom of homemade cannon shot off by daring boys of 16 years, ready to lose a hand if it blew up.

Our social life is literally primal, in the sense that chimpanzees and gorillas, our closest relatives among the primates, are also social.
‐‐ Clay Shirky
Our socialism does not include extreme materialistic concepts, since Indonesia is primarily a God-fearing, God-loving nation. Our socialism is a mixture. We draw political equality from the American Declaration of Independence. We draw spiritual equality from Islam and Christianity. We draw scientific equality from Marx.
‐‐ Sukarno
Our society cannot progress while our constitution stands still.
‐‐ Charles Edison
Our society distributes itself into Barbarians, Philistines and Populace; and America is just ourselves with the Barbarians quite left out, and the Populace nearly.
‐‐ Matthew Arnold
Our society does not give nearly enough credit to business leaders who create jobs, behave ethically and provide products and services that enhance our lives.
‐‐ Mark Skousen
Our society expects that everyone should learn to write, even though very few become professional writers. Similarly, I think that everyone should learn how to program, even though very few will become professional programmers.
‐‐ Mitchel Resnick
Our society finds truth too strong a medicine to digest undiluted. In its purest form, truth is not a polite tap on the shoulder. It is a howling reproach.
‐‐ Ted Koppel
Our society has changed in unforeseeable ways since Social Security was created. For example, we are living longer, healthier, and more productive lives and while this is all great news, this has also placed added pressure on America's retirement system.
‐‐ Norm Coleman
Our society has gotten to the point where we might soon become less and less shocked by any kind of violence.
‐‐ Stanley Crouch
Our society has lost confidence in the power of reason, except perhaps scientific reason.
‐‐ Timothy Radcliffe
Our society, including the liberals, must understand that there must be order.
‐‐ Vladimir Putin
Our society is dependent on some precarious mechanisms, and they are very dicey. They can easily collapse.
‐‐ Doris Lessing
Our society is divided by the culture wars into the Left and Right, and the United Methodist Church has always stood historically in the center and has been willing to listen to and to bring together those things that often are found in opposite camps.
‐‐ Adam Hamilton
Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.
‐‐ Lyndon B. Johnson
Our society is intertwined with the economy that we've built, which is a fantastically complex system. I hope that my writing about it might do some good, but that's not why I do it.
‐‐ Tim Harford
Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.
‐‐ Valerie Solanas
Our society is not perfect and this will come as no surprise to many of you.
‐‐ Barbara Amiel
Our society is pluralistic. We who accept the privilege of membership in that society agree to respect the people's right to live by their own religious precepts.
‐‐ Lewis B. Smedes
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
‐‐ John Lennon
Our society is so obsessed with working out to be skinny, and none of that has a purpose. I love that my daughter sees me running because she knows I have a race and that I want to be faster. It becomes much less of a grind when it's that way.
‐‐ Megyn Price
Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are.
‐‐ Jan Peter Balkenende
Our society is very, very good at developing certain types of skills and certain types of genius. We are fantastically good at identifying and developing athletic skills - better than we are, really, at almost anything else. We are quite good at developing and rewarding inventiveness.
‐‐ Bill James
Our society loves raw character; we love raw women. We don't love our mother because she is hot and sexy: we love our mother because she is our mother. We love our granny because she is our granny. We value her. We don't remember anyone's face from our childhood; we love our granny's face.
‐‐ Kangana Ranaut
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.
‐‐ Pearl S. Buck
Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country.
‐‐ Zachary Quinto
Our society, our culture - the greatness of America - goes hand-in-hand with energy, and our leaders need to wake up. We need energy, OK?
‐‐ Rick Santelli
Our society's need for escapism has always interested me.
‐‐ David Lloyd
Our society's strong emphasis on dieting and self-image can sometimes lead to eating disorders. We know that more than 5 million Americans suffer from eating disorders, most of them young women.
‐‐ Tipper Gore
Our society spends a lot of money on prison bars. For the sake of our kids, let's invest in monkey bars.
‐‐ Darell Hammond
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone - except God.
‐‐ Billy Graham
Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
‐‐ Peter Thiel
Our society wants things to grow, and our society wants things to become bigger and bigger. Everything has to be put under the spotlight.
‐‐ Raf Simons
Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.
‐‐ Melissa Etheridge
Our soft hearts are what tell us that, whatever the circumstances of birth, everyone must be given opportunities to do well.
‐‐ Sendhil Mullainathan
Our soldiers and people form one family. United, we may count on victory.
‐‐ Zhang Zhidong
Our soldiers and their families are benefiting. They deserve good, quality housing and they need it.
‐‐ Jim Walsh
Our soldiers have done a valiant effort in fighting terrorism and bringing a semblance of law and order to the chaos in the region and it would be shortsighted to lay out a specific timetable to bring U.S. troops home prematurely before their mission is accomplished.
‐‐ James T. Walsh
Our soldiers have nobly fought to protect freedom since our country's birth, and have fought to protect those that could not protect themselves, even in foreign lands when called upon.
‐‐ John Linder
Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen volunteer to protect and defend this country and all its citizens, and do so with honor, integrity and excellence. Our nation continually asks them to do more and more, with less and less.
‐‐ Allen West
Our solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don't, it doesn't matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, 'D'oh!'
‐‐ Matt Groening
Our son is in school now. You know, he's six-and-a-half and so a big chunk of the day is taken up by school. So I'm hoping that I'll be able to certainly take him to school in the morning, maybe pick him up in the afternoon and come back to work.
‐‐ Connie Chung
Our songs did not transcend being R&B hits. They were R&B hits that white kids were attracted to. And if people bought it, it became rock & roll. That's marketing. Why couldn't it still be R&B? The bass pattern didn't change. The song didn't change. It was still 'Yakety Yak' and 'Searchin'.'
‐‐ Jerry Leiber
Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.
‐‐ George Grove
Our songs were not written to be listened to in headphones or on the radio. They were written to be played. All of the little infinite detail that went into the arrangements and giving ourselves lots of breathing room in terms of playing what we wanted to play and using up any ideas that we had - all of those were conceived to be performed.
‐‐ Neil Peart
Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else.
‐‐ Blaise Pascal
Our soul is not united to our body in the ordinary sense of these terms. It is immediately and directly united to God alone.
‐‐ Nicolas Malebranche
Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
‐‐ Richard Bach
Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.
‐‐ Saint Teresa of Avila
