Thougths to be Shared

"O maior castigo para aqueles que não se interessam por política, é que serão governados pelos que se interessam."

" The biggest punishment for the ones who do not care about politics, is that they will be governed by the ones who do care."

" Apatia pode ser superada pelo entusiasmo, e o entusiasmo só pode ser provocado por duas coisas: primeiro, um ideal, que toma a imaginação tempestuosamente, e segundo, um definitivo plano inteligível para levar este ideal para a prática."

"Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, wich takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice.

- Arnold Joseph Toynbee
