More From Sigmund Freud

Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.
Hate Liars Lying
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Motivational Hate Liars
Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.
Afterlife People Drug
I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. a riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. we can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. you can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. you can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. and what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man.

Ageing destroys youth, sickness destroys health, degeneration of life destroys all excellent qualities and death destroys life. even if you are a great runner, you cannot run away from death. you cannot stop death with your wealth, through your magic performances or recitation of mantras or even medicines. therefore, it is wise to prepare for your death.
Death Wise Running
Men love death. in everything they make, they hollow out a central place for death, let its rancid smell contaminate every dimension of whatever still survives. men especially love murder. in art they celebrate it, and in life they commit it. they embrace murder as if life without it would be devoid of passion, meaning, and action, as if murder were solace, stilling their sobs as they mourn the emptiness and alienation of their lives.

When we give our lives to jesus christ, the things of earth grow strangely dim. the values of eternity grow increasingly bright.
Jesus Giving Earth
Science is a human activity, and the best way to understand it is to understand the individual human beings who practise it. science is an art form and not a philosophical method. the great advances in science usually result from new tools rather than from new doctrines. ... every time we introduce a new tool, it always leads to new and unexpected discoveries, because nature's imagination is richer than ours.
