“So how do we solve this ancient problem? How can we not just tolerate someone who believes differently than we do, but actually respect them for those beliefs? Because nothing less than that will do. It cant. Simply tolerating someone who believes differently than we do isnt enough. Accepting them isnt enough. Having true and abiding peace with them means loving them. And that means respecting them. Because love without respect isnt real love at all. Its at best condescending patronization.” BelieveMeanRealEnoughProblemBeliefAcceptingAncientSolveToleranceReal LoveTolerateAbidingCondescending Author:John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth
“The confidence in the unlimited power of science is only too often based on a false belief that the scientific method consists in the application of a ready-made technique, or in imitating the form rather than the substance of scientific procedure, as if one needed only to follow some cooking recipes to solve all social problems. It sometimes almost seems as if the techniques of science were more easily learnt than the thinking that shows us what the problems are and how to approach them.” IfsThinkingMadeSometimesShowsProblemSeemsFormBeliefSocialReadyNeededApproachMethodCookingSolveTechniqueSubstanceApplicationUnlimitedRecipesProceduresScientific MethodImitatingSocial ProblemsUnlimited Power Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“P. G. Wodehouse... used, when in town, to solve the problem of the long walk to the post-office by the simple expedient of tossing his letters out of his window: his belief that the average human, finding a stamped and addressed envelope on the pavement, would naturally pop it into the nearest pillar-box was never once, in decades, shown to be unfounded.” HumansLongProblemUsedBeliefSimpleWalksOfficeFindingsWindowLettersTownsAverageBoxesPopsSolveDecadesPostsPillarsEnvelopesPavementPost OfficeLong Walks Author:Stephen Fry
“It is not realistic or hard-headed to solve problems and take action unguided by ultimate moral aims and values, although we all know some who claim that it is so. In my judgement, it is thoughtless folly. For it ignores the realities of human faith and of passion and of belief; forces ultimately more powerful than all the calculations of our economists or of our generals. Of course to adhere to standards, to idealism, to vision in the face of immediate dangers takes great courage and takes self-confidence. But we also know that only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.” KnowsHumansSelfProblemRealityActionFacesValuesPassionCoursesBeliefForcePowerfulMoralVisionFailingAchieveDangerJudgmentStandardsUltimateClaimsAimDareSolveSelf ConfidenceFollyRealisticIdealismEconomistCalculations Author:Robert Kennedy
