I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

The fundamental concept in social science is Power in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

Come forward as servants of Islam organise the people economically socially educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.

Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.

More brands are waking up to their social responsibility and doing good work through cause marketing campaigns. Yet too many still go about it the wrong way. I mean 'wrong' in two senses. Firstly they are marketing ineffectively and secondly as a consequence their positive social impact is not maximized.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole but I don't watch politics for sport.

Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.

You have to believe that it's through politics that societies can lead social and economic and political change.

I don't take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more.

I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very very key ambitions in politics not least social mobility and life chances that I care about as passionately if not more.
