The issue is Socialism versus Capitalism. I am for Socialism because I am for humanity. We have been cursed with the reign of gold long enough. Money constitutes no proper basis of civilization. The time has come to regenerate society — we are on the eve of universal change.
The tendency to aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man. . . it constitutes the powerful obstacle to culture.
The strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization.

Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it.
As you live out your desolation, you can be either unhappy or happy. Having that choice is what constitutes your freedom.
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.
The genius-in work and in deed-is necessarily a squanderer: the fact that he spends himself constitutes his greatness.
The extermination of millions of unborn children, in the name of the fight against poverty, actually constitutes the destruction of the poorest of all human beings.
