“Your closest relationships are often the ones that have the most effect on you, but they are frequently the ones most difficult to change. These relationships are complex and have long histories. Lifetime habits of avoiding being really present with each other may exist in many of them. Family members, for instance, might want to support you, but will not necessarily know how to genuinely listen or be present with you in a way that is enlivening. . . . Even with the best intentions, it can be very difficult to get beyond the past and into the Now.” KnowsWayWantMayLongMightPastDifficultSupportKnow HowRelationshipEffectsHabitMembersIntentionLifetimeComplexesInstanceBeing RealClosestAvoidingFamily MembersSupport YouBest Intentions Author:Richard Moss
“Ownership by delegation is a contradiction in terms. When men say, for instance (by a false metaphor), that each member of the public should feel himself an owner of public property-such as a Town Park-and should therefore respect it as his own, they are saying something which all our experience proves to be completely false. No man feels of public property that it is his own; no man will treat it with the care of the affection of a thing which is his own.” MenFeelsShouldCarePoliticsTermEconomyProveMembersTreatsTownsPropertyMetaphorAffectionInstanceParksLiberalismContradictionOwnersOwnershipDelegation Book:An Essay on the Restoration of Property Source: An Essay on the Restoration of Property

Why do men want any of those things that are called political rights and privileges? Why do they, for instance, want to vote at elections for members of parliament? Oh! Because they shall then have an influence over the conduct of those members. And of what use is that? Oh! Then they will prevent the members from doing wrong.” MenWantMayLongUseLastsPoliticalPoliticsEconomyRightsInfluencePleaseQuietMembersVoteElectionPropertyPrivilegeInstanceEnjoymentLiberalismTwistsParliamentPolitical RightsRights And PrivilegesMembers Of Parliament Book:A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland Source: A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland
