A full and fair discussion is essential to democracy. George Soros An open society is a society which allows its members the greatest possible degree of freedom in pursuing their interests compatible with the interests of others. George Soros Bush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties. George Soros I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society. George Soros I give away something up to $500 million a year throughout the world promoting Open Society. My foundations support people in the country who care about an open society. It's their work that I'm supporting. So it's not me doing it. George Soros I think there's a lot of merit in an international economy and global markets, but they're not sufficient because markets don't look after social needs. George Soros I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out of any kind of guilt, or any need to create good public relations. I'm doing it because I can afford to do it, and I believe in it. George Soros If the terrorists have the sympathy of people, it's much harder to find them. So we need people on our side, and that leads us to be responsible leaders of the world, show some concern with the problems. George Soros Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is make by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected. George Soros Markets are designed to allow individuals to look after their private needs and to pursue profit. It's really a great invention and I wouldn't under-estimate the value of that, but they're not designed to take care of social needs. George Soros My foundations support people in the country who care about an open society. It's their work that I'm supporting. So it's not me doing it. But I can empower them. I can support them, and I can help them. George Soros Now that I have called you on your false accusation, you are using additional smear tactics. George Soros Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes. George Soros President Bush is endangering our safety, hurting our vital interests, and undermining American values. George Soros Stock market bubbles don't grow out of thin air. They have a solid basis in reality, but reality as distorted by a misconception. George Soros The financial markets generally are unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios... The idea that you can actually predict what's going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market. George Soros The people currently in charge have forgotten the first principle of an open society, namely that we may be wrong and that there has to be free discussion. That it's possible to be opposed to the policies without being unpatriotic. George Soros The worse a situation becomes the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside. George Soros There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that. It's not specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest itself in anti-Semitism as well. George Soros To my mind, there is a solution which has to do with democracy, because democratic governments are subject to the will of the people. So, if the people will it, you can actually create international institutions through the democratic states. George Soros We are the most powerful nation on earth. No external power, no terrorist organization, can defeat us. But we can defeat ourselves by getting caught in a quagmire. George Soros We must recognize that as the dominant power in the world we have a special responsibility. In addition to protecting our national interests, we must take the leadership in protecting the common interests of humanity. George Soros Well, you know, I was a human being before I became a businessman. George Soros When I had made more money than I needed for myself and my family, I set up a foundation to promote the values and principles of a free and open society. George Soros When it comes to social consequences, they've got all different people acting in different ways, very difficult to even have a proper criterion of success. So, it's a difficult task. George Soros
