We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Tony Benn

The difference between a man of sense and a fop is that the fop values himself upon his dress; and the man of sense laughs at it, at the same time he knows he must not neglect it.
Lord Chesterfield

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you're going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them.
Michelle Obama

Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick.
Lin Yutang

And, we put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.
Rowan Atkinson

The biggest thing we get out of it is seeing the kids smile. And hopefully we will also see that the lessons we're teaching - not only the fundamentals of hockey, but also the life values - are sinking in.
Bobby Orr

Moral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.
Swami Sivananda

All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values.
Marshall McLuhan

Bush sees the evil as out there in the wider world, residing in people who 'hate freedom'. Look at his immediate response to the pictures of prisoner abuse; this is not what Americans do, these are not our values.
Peter Singer

Russia will not soon become, if it ever becomes, a second copy of the United States or England - where liberal values have deep historic roots.
Vladimir Putin

We should propagate the values of vegetarianism.
Morarji Desai

It didn't take long to recognise the shortcomings of the Soviet regime and to see the values of the free world.
Garry Kasparov

I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
Garry Kasparov

In the transmission of human culture, people always attempt to replicate, to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents, but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning, not DNA.
Gregory Bateson

What is important is to have values in life. What's important is how you are, not how you look.
Valeria Mazza

We would betray our values and play into our enemies' hands if we were to treat Muslims differently than anyone else. In fact, to cave to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists, and we should not stand for that.
Michael Bloomberg

We are a continuum. Just as we reach back to our ancestors for our fundamental values, so we, as guardians of that legacy, must reach ahead to our children and their children. And we do so with a sense of sacredness in that reaching.
Paul Tsongas

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.
Simon Cowell

The USA experiences the crisis of ideological and moral values.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky

Americans try to talk about positive family values, although the actual state of things is disastrous.
