“Senator Collins and Speaker Bowling are two cuts or more above typical politicians. If all politicians modeled their examples, we’d have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
― Shafter Bailey, James Ed Hoskins and the One-Room Schoolhouse: The Unprosecuted Crime Against Children

“Rulemaking and rule-breaking depend on ongoing negotiations between tradition and innovation. Rules can be both a basis for social interaction and a cause of restraint. Constant reflection and adaptation ensure that they remain significant and reasonable. ("When forgetting the rules of the game")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Tact is the ability to help someone out or show them something they need to know without hurting their feelings. Your aunt and uncle may be a bit old fashioned. You can learn from that. But you may also need to help them. They don’t usually have children stay with them. You will really need to use tact with them. Okay? And here, take this. If your aunt or uncle need something, use ‘tactâ€� and buy it for them.”

“Only one night a year brought this kind of stillness—a quiet that hummed with the possibility of everything the villagers feared, Halloween." Chapter 1”
― Amelia Frostwood, Whispers of the Halloween Night: A Forbidden Love with Dark Secrets Beneath the Full Moon

“All around me doors into other worlds began appearing but I knew the one I wanted, the one into which everything forgotten flows. The edges of that door were frayed and worn by the passage of old ideas leaving the world.”
― Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“Tradition is often nothing but the evidence of silence. 124”

“India has the good fortune of being the repository of the noblest spiritual tradition, the only one in the whole world which has been alive throughout the centuries. And Sanskrit has been the privileged instrument of this tradition.

“Samuel Gregg: Smith underscores, however, that the Scots also focused on another form of rationality: the reasonableness that is embodied and conveyed through time by un-designed habits, customs, and rules. We often do not fully understand the importance of such traditions, as Edmund Burke noted, until we dispose of them. A hallmark of Smith’s work is his study of how such knowledge helps to mold political and economic outcomes.
One Means by which such knowledge has been conveyed through time, Smith states, is religion. In a long footnote to his Nobel lecture, Smith stressed religion’s role in shaping the morality needed for cohesive social behavior.”
― Vernon L. Smith, The Evidence of Things Not Seen: Reflections on Faith, Science, and Economics

“To make heritage out of consciousness
is to make garbage out of consciousness.
To make tradition out of stagnation
is to make fertilizer out of living veins.

What's in your head, fervor or fertilizer!
What are you, consciousness or compost!
Buy some flowers for your ancestral graves,
but never become compost to get their praise!”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

“The ease with which certain words come to be musused is truly extraordinary: there are some who have gone so far as to give the name 'traditions' to popular habits, or even to conventions of quite recent origin, withouth importnace or real significance. As for ourselves, we refuse to give this name to what is only a more or less automatic respect for certain outward forms, which are sometimes nothing more than 'superstitions' in the etymological sense of the word. True tradition dewells in the outlook of a people or race or civilization, and it springs from causes that lie far deeper.”
― René Guénon, East and West

“The iceberg model highlights why we cannot judge a new culture purely on what we see. Instinctively, we know there's more to a situation than we initially perceive... It is essential to take time to uncover the beliefs that underline behavior.”

“I encourage you to cultivate your curiosity and discover how your cultural lens on the world can influence your interactions with people of diverse cultural backgrounds.”
― Gaiti Rabbani, Curious About Culture: Refocus your lens on culture to cultivate cross cultural understanding

“To truly appreciate the essence of a culture you would need to grasp the language that offers a window into its traditions and beliefs.”
― Gaiti Rabbani, Curious About Culture: Refocus your lens on culture to cultivate cross cultural understanding

“Patterns in language offer a window into the nuances of culture. Beyond an assortment of words, language also preserves cultural heritage.”
― Gaiti Rabbani

“Toynbee’s wholesale dismissal of five centuries of Western art, eccentric and paradoxical as it is, raises fundamental issues about the character of human life itself. Man is a being who is aware of himself, and aware that his world is a mindaffected world. It is because his world is such that he is all at home in it. To say this is to say how vitally man depends on legacies and traditions, on the transmission of modes of thought and behaviour, on artefacts and institutions, without which he would be unable to survive, or at best become simply an animal or a savage. It is for this reason, among others, that man’s nature is his history.”
― Elie Kedourie, The Crossman Confessions and Other Essays in Politics, History, and Religion

“I don't believe your love for your family has to mean you sacrifice who you are for them, or for tradition. The world changes, whether we try to keep it the same or not. I get that you need to embrace your family's heritage, and you should, but it can't be some box you get put into that can only look the way it's always looked.”
― Sabrina Fedel, All Roads Lead to Rome

“Modern democratic civilizations have a great distaste for aggression, discrimination, tradition, and strict codes of honor. Their affluent lifestyles and egalitarian philosophies have distanced themselves from the cold, hard realities of life on earth. From the safety and comfort of their walled-paradise, and with full bellies, they can abstractly piece together a world where nobody hates, steals, kills, cheats, and lies; where all humans are valuable and deserve unconditional acceptance, no matter where they’re from or what they believe. But their disconnectedness to reality does nothing to alter it.”
― Tanner Cook, The Way of Free Men: A Manual for Resisting Tyranny

“When India celebrates, it’s not just tradition—it’s an economy in flight.”
― Dipti Dhakul, Quote: +/-

“Tradition and history should be a guide but not a yoke. If something was wrong, the past was not a reason to keep it so.”
― Sue Lynn Tan, Immortal

“History without tradition has produced a historicism that relativized the development of Christian doctrine in such a way as to make the distinction between authentic growth and cancerous aberration seem completely arbitrary... Tradition is the living faith of the dead. Traditionalism is the dead faith of the living.”
― Jaroslav Pelikan, The Christian Tradition 1: The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition 100-600

“Abandon your ancestors before you abandon your humanity, abandon your tradition before you abandon tolerance. Tradition that teaches intolerance is tradition no more, it is tradition of the animal, it cannot be tradition of the human.”

“Tradition that teaches intolerance is tradition no more, it is tradition of the animal, it cannot be tradition of the human.”

“Each culture is a library of life lessons, where every generation leaves behind its pages for the world to read.”
― Colin Green

“Tradition prevents the movement of knowledge, as the nature of tradition is that there is nothing greater than tradition, as if it was greater than tradition, it would not be tradition.”
― Connor Patrick Sullivan, Philosophy of The Individual

“Fear of the collective leads to more caution- which breeds nothing but a habit of sticking to the existing narrative, preventing the furthering of it”
― Connor Patrick Sullivan, Philosophy of The Individual

“I am of the temper of most kings, who love to be in debt, are all for present money, no matter how they pay it afterwards: besides, the nature of a preface is rambling, never wholly out of the way, nor in it. This I have learned from the practice of honest Montaigne, and return at my pleasure to Ovid and Chaucer, of whom I have little more to say.”
― John Dryden, Dryden

“For us, the Western literacy tradition is an ill-fitting shoe. We simply cannot be forced to wear a shoe that will pinch our toes.”

“A kilt swings with the wind and stands firm in spirit—Scottish soul in every fold.”
― Haider Ali Bajwa

“A man in a kilt carries his heritage on his hips and courage in his heart.”
― Haider Ali Bajwa

“A kilt is more than fabric—it’s a love letter to tradition, stitched with the tenderness of history and worn with the devotion of a lover’s embrace. Each pleat whispers tales of Scotland’s rugged hills, each tartan thread a vow to honor the past. For me, crafting kilts at Liberty Kilts is an act of love: a dance of hands and heart, weaving pride into every fold, so when you wear one, you feel the warmth of heritage hugging your soul.”
― Haider Ali Shahid
