[Quote No.63995] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Morality and ethics:] A society could be created which maximized individual freedom, while protecting the person and property of each person, with only two moral principles made into laws, that would apply to all individuals and groups: 1- Thou shalt not break thy word - a law for agreements and contracts, which would also guard against fraud and; 2- Thou shalt not initiate force or the threat of force - a law for peaceful co-operation, which would guard against aggression and coercion. Such a society has been explored in a book, 'The Market For Liberty', by Linda and Morris Tannehill." - Ben O\'Grady

"All Men have a Right to remain in a State of Nature as long as they please: And in case of intolerable Oppression, civil or religious, to leave the Society they belong to and enter into another. When Men enter into Society, it is by voluntary Consent [as part of their agreement to an explicit and implicit 'social contract' between all concerned], and they have a Right to demand and insist upon the performance of such Conditions and previous Limitations as form an equitable original Compact." - Samuel Adams

[Quote No.64029] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Leaders - especially politicians - will often try to get support for a change that ordinarily wouldn't be accepted because under crisis circumstances people are more likely to try more unusual solutions:] At a 1959 meeting of the United Negro College Fund, John F. Kennedy, the 41-year-old junior senator from Massachusetts, famously said: 'When written in Chinese
the word crisis is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.'
This observation, now one of JFK's most celebrated quotations, captures an important truth about the human experience. During a crisis, our natural tendency is to focus on the danger. However, as Chinese sages have long noted, the true value of a crisis is that it is also a time of great opportunity.
When things are going well, you see, we live by the maxim, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' But when something is truly broken - and that is often the case in a crisis - the effective thing is to replace established, but ineffective, habits with bold new initiatives. If we continue to operate in the same way after a crisis, we meet the colloquial conception of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result). But when we respond to a crisis by dumping outworn assumptions and changing previous patterns of behavior, we increase - often dramatically - the odds of turning a crisis into a great gift!" - Dr. Mardy Grothe
