• Durante mi vida me he dedicado a esta lucha del pueblo africano. He luchado contra la dominación blanca y contra la dominación negra. He acariciado el ideal de una sociedad democrática y libre en la que todas las personas convivan en armonía y con igualdad de oportunidades. Es un ideal por el que espero vivir y alcanzar. Pero si es necesario, es un ideal por el que estoy dispuesto a morir.

• To any intelligent being, there is no emotion more important than hope. Individually or collectively, we must hope that the future will be better than the past, that our offspring, and theirs after them, will be a bit closer to an ideal society, whatever our perception of that might be... It is at those times when we feel we are contributing to that ultimate end... we feel true elation.

• The effort of building an ideal society always leads to violence, often to very extensive violence. Because, whether we like it or not, it is not possible to create an ideal society with imperfect people. And this, unfortunately, we are. So the main purpose for Nazism as well as for Communism was to create a 'new person'. In order to make room for it, the world needed to be rid of its non-perfect models.

• States can be more or less democratic, and so can socialism. I think any ideal society that exists on a large scale, which is what we most likely have in store for us as a human race, will involve some aspects of socialism.

• There are two generic and invariable features that characterize utopias. One is the content: the authors of utopias paint what they consider to be ideal societies; translating this into the language of mathematics, we might say that utopias bear a + sign. The other feature, organically growing out of the content, is to be found in the form: a utopia is always static; it is always descriptive and has no, of almost no, plot dynamics.

• We must help all our young people to understand that ours is still a very poor country, that we cannot change this situation radically in a short time, and that only through the united efforts of our younger generation and all our people, working with their own hands, can China be made strong and prosperous within a period of several decades. The establishment of our socialist system has opened the road leading to the ideal society of the future, but to translate this ideal into reality needs hard work.

• This present system by which industry is motivated exclusively by the quest for maximal profits - though it may have helped a great deal to develop, to industrialize our country so rapidly and so successfully - now it's clearly passed its usefulness. It is keeping us from achieving the ideal society that we should have. We say industry must produce to improve the quality of life for all our people.

• A menudo, mientras estoy en Irán, se me ocurre que si los evangélicos cristianos hicieran un recorrido por el Irán actual, podrían encontrar en él el modelo de sociedad ideal que buscan en Estados Unidos. Sustituyan a Alá por Dios, a Mahoma por Jesús, mantengan las mismas nociones públicas y privadas de castidad, pecado, salvación y voluntad de Dios, y habrá nacido una República cristiana.

• Our ideal society finds it essential to put a rent on land as a way of maximizing the total consumption available to the society. ...Pure land rent is in the nature of a 'surplus' which can be taxed heavily without distorting production incentives or efficiency. A land value tax can be called 'the useful tax on measured land surplus'.

  Paul Samuelson
