[Quote No.20182] Need Area: Friends > General
"The uprooting of human beings from the land, the concentration in cities, the breakdown of the authority of the family, of tradition, and of moral conventions, the complexity and the novelty of modem life, and finally the economic insecurity of our industrial system have called into being the modern social worker. They perform a function in modem society, which is not a luxury but an absolute necessity." - Walter Lippman

[Quote No.20384] Need Area: Friends > General
"[poem: about the value of empathy, sympathy and compassion:]
No radiant pearl, which crested fortune wears,
No gem, that twinkling hangs from beauty's ears;
Not the bright stars, which night's blue arch adorn;
Nor rising sun, that gilds the vernal morn;
Shine with such luster as the tear that flows,
Down virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.
" - Erasmus Darwin

[Quote No.20519] Need Area: Friends > General
"Every thought and decision each person makes affects everyone else in the world, even if it is impossible to see and understand the connection. Is it not true smokers and people who don't take care of their health affect the medical insurance rates each of us pays? Isn't it true everyone who commits a crime costs each of us in taxes to maintain our court systems, police systems and prison systems? Isn't it true that every dollar someone spends makes jobs and livelihoods for others? Isn't it true, if someone chooses to become a drug addict, he affects others in his effort to maintain his compulsive drug habit? Isn't it also true that someone who provides a business or product automatically affects many people? In fact, every choice and action we make and take or neglect to make or take, whether it is judged good, bad or indifferent, affects more than just our immediate selves. Therefore, before anyone acts on anything, which he considers serious, that he take the time and ask himself: Is this act wise or unwise? Will I harm others or myself? What is the total price demanded and am I willing and able to pay it and accept all the consequences?" - Sidney Madwed

[Quote No.20664] Need Area: Friends > General
"A society composed of none but the wicked could not exist; it contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction, and, without a flood, would be swept away from the earth by the deluge of its own iniquity. The moral cement of all society is virtue; it unites and preserves, while vice separates and destroys. The good may well be termed the salt of the earth, for where there is no integrity there can be no confidence; and where there is no confidence there can be no unanimity." - Charles Caleb Colton
