Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts… perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
John Steinbeck
We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.
John Steinbeck
It has always seemed strange to me… the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
John Steinbeck
I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
John Steinbeck
If you’re in trouble, or hurt or need – go to the poor people. They’re the only ones that’ll help – the only ones.
John Steinbeck
In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
John Steinbeck
Man is the only kind of varmint sets his own trap, baits it, then steps in it.
John Steinbeck
Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.
John Steinbeck

My first thought was “I guess this means the war on terror will never be won, or that was ever the intent”
