“It doesn't seem that the best time to start reform is when there's a major political crisis, ... In fact, it seems to me he was putting the cart before the horse, because you can't get major institutional reform unless you have a rather good political climate, and a fair degree of trust and common views among the membership. When they have very different views, when they are deeply divided, they can't agree on fundamental structural reforms. Never have they been able to agree on those things when they were deeply divided.”
Edward Luck
“Don't marry a man to reform him--that's what reform schools are for.”
Mae West
“Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.”
Mark Twain
“It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and mortal persecution”
Mahatma Gandhi
“The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.”
H. G. Wells
“A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis.”
Ralph W. Sockman
“The product, abortion, is skillfully marketed and sold to the woman at the crisis time in her life. She buys the product, finds it defective and wants to return it for a refund. But, it's too late.”
