[Quote No.48287] Need Area: Friends > General
"However little it may often appear to be true, the social world is governed in the long run by certain moral principles on which the people at large believe. The only moral principle which has ever made the growth of an advanced civilisation possible was the principle of individual freedom...What we have achieved we owe to securing to the individuals the chance of creating for themselves a protected domain (their private property) within which they can use their abilities for their own purposes." - Friedrich A. Hayek

[Quote No.48318] Need Area: Friends > General
"Economic Means vs. Political Means:
There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man's needs and desires can be satisfied. One is the production and exchange of wealth; this is the [free market capitalistic] economic means. The other is the uncompensated appropriation of wealth produced by others; this is the political means [of force, coercive and deceptive theft of private property]." - Albert Nock

"I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his kin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than the opposite." - Nelson Mandela
(1918-2013) South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, imprisoned for 27 years, President of South Africa (1994-1999). Source: 'Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela'.

[Quote No.48412] Need Area: Friends > General
"I object to anything that divides the two sexes. My main point is this: human development has now reached a point at which sexual difference has become a thing of altogether minor importance. We make too much of it; we are men and women in the second place; human beings in the first." - Olive Schreiner
She wrote the first great South African novel, 'The Story of an African Farm', (1883). Writing under the pseudonym of Ralph Iron, the book told the story of a young South African girl who dreamed of achieving freedom and independence at a time when women were viewed as the servants -- or even the chattel -- of men.
