It automatically sets in motion throughout society these irresistible forces for uniformity, for passionate cooperation with the government in coercing into obedience the minority groups and individuals which lack the larger herd sense.~ Randolph Bourne [The war in Iraq is] a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times...a new world order can emerge.~ George Herbert Walker Bush Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.~ Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.~ Adolf Hitler When men are brought face to face with their opponents, forced to listen and learn and mend their ideas, they cease to be children and savages and begin to live like civilized men. Then only is freedom a reality, when men may voice their opinions because they must examine their opinions.~ Walter Lippmann That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.~ George Orwell Instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling block in the way of action, we think it an indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all.~ Pericles Individualism regards man -- every man -- as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life, a right derived from his nature as a rational being. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful co-existence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rights -- and that a group, as such, has no rights other than the individual rights of its members.~ Ayn Rand It takes two wings to fly.~ Eric Schaub How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.~ Adam Smith ... I suggest that the more the state intervenes in such situations, the more 'necessary' (on this view) it becomes, because positive altruism and voluntary cooperative behaviour atrophy in the presence of the state and grow in its absence. Thus, again, the state exacerbates the conditions which are supposed to make it necessary. We might say that the state is like an addictive drug: the more of it we have, the more we 'need' it and the more we come to 'depend' on it.~ Michael Taylor The benefits of the reading, writing and math does [sic] not outweigh the need for [black and white] children to learn to work and play together.~ John Wilson Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.~ Woodrow Wilson Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
