“Cooperation and conflict are two sides of the same coin; both arise out of man's relationship with his fellows. The larger the group, the greater the possibility of development through cooperation, and the greater the possibility of conflict.” MenTwoSidesGreaterGroupsPossibilityDevelopmentConflictFellowsAriseCooperationCoinsTwo Sides Author:Julius Nyerere
“In the Small group the individual can know the effects of his actions on his several fellows, and the rules may effectively forbid him to harm them in any manner and even require him to assist them in specific ways. In the Great Society many of the effects of a person's actions on various fellows must be unknown to him. It can, therefore, not be the specific effects in the particular case, but only rules which define kinds of actions prohibited or required, which must serve as guides to the individual.” KnowsWayKindMayPersonsActionIndividualCasesGroupsEffectsParticularFellowsVariousHarmGuidesSmall GroupsGreat Society Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“In tribal times, there were the medicine men. In the Middle Ages, there were the priests. Today, there are the lawyers. For every age, a group of bright boys, learned in their trades and jealous of their learning, who blend technical competence with plain and fancy hocus-pocus to make themselves masters of their fellow men. For every age, a pseudo-intellectual autocracy, guarding the tricks of the trade from the uninitiated, and running, after its own pattern, the civilization of its day.” MenRunningAgeTodayBoysGroupsMiddleMastersCivilizationIntellectualFellowsTradeMedicinePatternsLawyerTricksFancyPriestsJealousFellow ManCompetenceMiddle AgesPseudoGuardingAutocracyHocus PocusPseudo Intellectuals Author:Fred Rodell

“Even a fellow with a camera has his favourite subjects, as we can see looking through the Kodak-albums of our friends. One amateur prefers the family group, another bathing scenes, another cows upon an alp, or kittens held upside down in the arms of a black-faced child. The tendency to choose one subject rather than another indicates the photographer's temperament. Nevertheless, his passion is for photography rather than for selection, a kitten will serve when no cows are available.” ChildrenPassionBlackGroupsSubjectsArmsScenePhotographyCamerasFellowsPhotographerAlbumsAvailableTendenciesCowsFavouriteNeverthelessSelectionTemperamentUpside DownKittenBathingAlpsKodak Author:E.

“The secular utopians basically said the exact same thing, they just took the Bible out of the equation. The religious and the secular groups recognized each other as fellow travellers. They exchanged newsletters and asked each other questions like, "What's a good soup pot to use if you're making dinner for 800 people?" They had these practical connections.” PeopleIfsSaidUseReligiousGroupsConnectionsFellowsDinnerPracticalsPotSecularSoupEquationsTravellerNewsletters Author:Christine Jennings
