Drug Education Quotes

I am addicted to love.
Love is my beloved drug. ~ Debasish Mridha

I do have a plan for the country [the USA]. It needs education. And there should be drug education - only people should be taught how to smoke pot, because even potheads don't know how to smoke pot. I've evolved into not only an activist, but an educator. I want to show people how, when, and why they should smoke pot. ~ Tommy Chong

The cultural integration of psychedelics won't happen overnight, and the question of young people is perhaps the most difficult involved. The first step is for people who have knowledge of these substances to share it, "coming out" about their own experiences. Drug education should be honest and present a balanced picture of risks and benefits. ~ Rick Doblin

Acid wasn't getting a whole lot of bad press at the time, and as I saw the whole bad-press thing happen, I became aware that the government had done a whole lie on all the other benign drugs as well. It became clear to me that the government wanted no real drug education. ~ Tommy Rettig

The drug education currently provided broadly amounts to 'take drugs and you will die'. This lie is so obvious that no-one takes it seriously. ~ Dominic Milton Trott

All school districts receive funds from the federal government, through the Department of Education, to support anti-drug education efforts. ~ John Walters

The critical habit of thought, if usual in society, will pervade all its mores, because it is a way of taking up the problems of life. Men educated in it cannot be stampeded by stump orators ... They are slow to believe. They can hold things as possible or probable in all degrees, without certainty and without pain. They can wait for evidence and weigh evidence, uninfluenced by the emphasis or confidence with which assertions are made on one side or the other. They can resist appeals to their dearest prejudices and all kinds of cajolery. Education in the critical faculty is the only education of which it can be truly said that it makes good citizens. ~ William Graham Sumner

Life is a one-way journey, so don't wait for the destination, but enjoy the scenery. ~ Debasish Mridha

But a further question arises: Is passion different from reason also, or only a kind of reason; in which latter case, instead of three principles in the soul, there will only be two, the rational and the concupiscent; or rather, as the State was composed of three classes, traders, auxiliaries, counsellors, so may there not be in the individual soul a third element which is passion or spirit, and when not corrupted by bad education is the natural auxiliary of reason? Yes, he said, there must be a third. Yes, I replied, if passion, which has already been shown to be different from desire, turn out also to be different from reason. But that is easily proved: - We may observe even in young children that they are full of spirit almost as soon as they are born, whereas some of them never seem to attain to the use of reason, and most of them late enough. Excellent, ~ Plato

You're born with the power of love, why you are looking for power of destruction? ~ Debasish Mridha

If you are looking for love, you may not find it, but if you love every one for sure, they will return it. ~ Debasish Mridha

In the eighties and nineties, the innovation agenda was exclusively focused on enterprises. There was a time in which economic and social issues were seen as separate. Economy was producing wealth, society was spending. In the 21st century economy, this is not true anymore. Sectors like health, social services and education have a tendency to grow, in GDP percentage as well as in creating employment, whereas other industries are decreasing. In the long term, an innovation in social services or education will be as important as an innovation in the pharmaceutical or aerospatial industry. ~ Diogo Vasconcelos

Another thing to watch. The Brotherhood name organisations in a way that leads people to believe their aim is the opposite of what they are really there to do. For instance, if you want to run drugs without being suspected, do it through an anti-drug agency. If you want to destroy land and kill wildlife, do it through a wildlife protection agency. If you want to run a Satanic ring, do it through the Christian Church. ~ David Icke

I realized that as a thinking person his advantage lay precisely in his lack of formal education. Nobody told him what to think, and thus he was free to think clearly. ~ Peter Hessler

Happiness is there when you have great imagination and vision, when you take relentless action and love your creation. ~ Debasish Mridha

The Grand Mistake in Education - To think that what's right for you is right for everyone. IT AIN'T. The Fly in this Ointment!http://youtu.be/6HpXUaQGY8I via @youtube ~ Alan Share

Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty, how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. ~ Henry Ward Beecher

Peace is a long journey within.
With enduring calmness, tranquility and kindness, you win. ~ Debasish Mridha

When I see a dancing butterfly,
When I see a half blooming flower,
Their eager wish to make this world happy,
My mind dances with joy,
My soul emerges in happiness. ~ Debasish Mridha

Parents have a right to insist that godless evolution not be taught to their children. ~ Pat Buchanan

It may be thought justifiable to require tests on animals of potentially life-saving drugs, but the same kinds of tests are used for products like cosmetics, food coloring, and floor polishes. Should thousands of animals suffer so that a new kind of lipstick or floor wax can be put on the market? Don't we already have an excess of most of these products? Who benefits from their introduction, except the companies that hope to profit from them? ~ Peter Singer

A liberal education rests on the assumption that nature and human nature do not change very much or very fast and that one therefore needs to understand the past. ~ Wendell Berry

If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education. ~ William Jennings Bryan

Tough topics are only tough for those who don't want to approach conversation, who don't like problematizing the status quo and nuancing the narrative. ~ Monica O Montgomery

It turns out that we're not the only ones who go out on a scientific limb as we discuss or attempt to discuss cars, car repairs and scientific education in America today. ~ Tom Magliozzi

Giving a child an education is by far one of the most important investments we can make. ~ Usher

We can make robots that learn from mistakes, yet man still makes the same ones over, and over. ~ Anthony T. Hincks

I occasionally entertain guests in my office. There are too many things to do and see for them to spare more than a few moments for their professor. They certainly don't have time for tea, and that's a shame. I will not give in to cynicism and call them shallow, but they do concern themselves with trifles more than perhaps they should. They are so quick to be done with their education and out into the world they don't stop to enjoy the pleasure of learning. I frequently hear the word "life" bandied about, and I wonder when they leave if they'll truly know how to live at all. ~ L. Joseph Shosty

Popular culture bombards us with examples of animals being humanized for all sorts of purposes, ranging from education to entertainment to satire to propaganda. Walt Disney, for example, made us forget that Mickey is a mouse, and Donald a duck. George Orwell laid a cover of human societal ills over a population of livestock. ~ Frans De Waal

The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr. ~ Anonymous

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the eye itself can be coaxed, informed, and persuaded. ~ Meghan Cox Gurdon

She understood now why so many members of her kind died so young. It was possible to squeeze an entire lifetime of living into a single day: to live more, to feel more, in the span of twenty-four hours than most did in eighty years.
Shape-shifters lived in a world of color and brightness, of heightened senses. They felt everything more intensely, and so they lived their lives more intensely - anything to make their hearts pound harder. Life could be like a drug.
But how does one wean oneself off life? ~ Nenia Campbell

Some, they didn't make it.
The temptation just too strong.
How can darkness cloud the mind
To what I know as wrong? ~ Kimberly Nalen

Which has more caffeine--tea or coffee?

Maybe it is a reflection of our constant struggle to ward off sleep, or simply the desire for that scintillating buzz that comes from a good cup of Joe. In the United States, more than 80 percent of people consume caffeine in one form or another every day. Worldwide it is the most popular drug, far ahead of nicotine and alcohol. Some anthropologists speculate that its use may date as far back as the Stone Age. ~ Anahad O'Connor

A person is the product of his learning. What he learns and how he interprets it is what he becomes. ~ Debasish Mridha

Now of the difficulties bound up with the public in which we doctors work, I hesitate to speak in a mixed audience. Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education. ~ William Osler

In my opinion, the greatest single failure of American education is that students come away unable to distinguish between a symbol and the thing the symbol stands for. ~ Paul Lutus

Yaw realised that it was not his scar that terrified her, but rather the problem of language, a marker of her education, her class, compared with his. She had been terrified that for the teacher of the white book, she would have to speak the white tongue. Now, released from English, Esther smiled more brightly than Yaw had seen anyone smile in ages. He could see the large, proud gap that stood in the doorway between her two front teeth, and he found himself training his gaze through that door as though he could see all the way down into her throat, her gut, the home of her very soul. ~ Yaa Gyasi

Demography is changing us as we are older societies, we're living longer. How the generations balance each other out, how that affects education and health care. ~ Howard Baker

There's something odd about telling people, artists, that they need to work for free to be pure while you're sitting there getting a salary that ultimately is paid by a generation of young people going deeply into debt for their education. ~ Astra Taylor

Public education is a good foundation on which to build a better life for each of us. And if we want to prove to these children who never made the mess in the first place that education is worth the trouble, our schools have to inspire them so they can do what they ought to do. ~ Bill Cosby

EDUCATION TEACHES US HOW TO THINK, INTELLIGENCE HOW TO QUESTION, AND OUR MORALITY WHAT TO DO WITH WHAT WE KNOW. BE WARY THEN OF THE EDUCATED, INTELLIGENT, AND AMORAL PERSON, FOR THEY WILL KNOW ONLY THAT THEY CAN DO A THING, NOT WHETHER THEY SHOULD. ~ Mark T. Barnes

The first step toward success is a deep driving desire. ~ Debasish Mridha

You can possess what you dream of. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita

If education, culture, the higher life were shining things to be worshiped from afar, he had still a means left whereby he could draw one step nearer to them. ~ Mary Antin

For successful education there must always be a certain freshness in the knowledge dealt with. It must be either new in itself or invested with some novelty of application to the new world of new times. Knowledge does not keep any better than fish. You may be dealing with knowledge of the old species, with some old truth; but somehow it must come to the students, as it were, just drawn out of the sea and with the freshness of its immediate importance. ~ Alfred North Whitehead

If I had to guess and put a name on it, I'd say that at some point, the drug war was as much a function of class and social control as it was of racism. ~ David Simon

So it is our request that you try to study Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Don't try to distort it by your so-called education. Try to understand Kṛiṣṇa as He is saying. Then you will be benefited. Your life will be successful. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Condemning war has not curbed armed conflict. Religion and education did not eliminate war. Warfare did not terminate more wars. Armed combat simply breeds endless wars. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
