“The consensus is that no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition.” PeopleWellsWarSeemsDiesFightingSocialLossFiveTenHundredLos AngelesConsensusAmmunitionSocial Service Author:Jeff Cooper
“Islam lays great emphasis on the social side of things. Every day, the rich and the poor, the great and the small living in a locality are brought five times in a day in the mosque in the terms of perfect equality of mankind and thereby the foundation of a healthy social relationship is laid and established through prayer. At the end of Ramazan comes the new moon, the crescent as a signal for a mass gathering on the 'Id day again in perfect equality of mankind which effects the entire Muslim world.” WorldEndsSocialSidesTermPrayerPerfectPoorRichFiveMankindEffectsHealthyMoonMassFoundationLaysIslamSignalsEmphasisGatheringMosquesNew MoonMuslim WorldLocalityCrescentSocial Relationships Author:Muhammad Ali Jinnah
“There can be no doubt that the young of today have to be protected against certain poisonous effects inherent in present-day civilization. Five social diseases surround them, even in early childhood. There is the decline in fitness due to modern methods of locomotion; the decline in initiative due to the widespread disease of spectatoritis; the decline in care and skill due to the weakened tradition of craftsmanship; the decline in self-discipline due to the ever-present availability of tranquilizers and stimulants, and the decline in compassion, which William Temple called "spiritual death.” SelfCareTodaySpiritualYoungCertainSocialCompassionDoubtFiveModernChildhoodEffectsDisciplineCivilizationSkillsDiseaseTraditionMethodDuesNo DoubtTemplesSurroundDeclineProtectedInitiativeInherentSelf DisciplinePresent DayPoisonousAvailabilityEarly ChildhoodCraftsmanshipStimulantsSpiritual Death Author:Kurt Hahn
“Organisation of social insurance should be treated as one part only of a comprehensive policy of social progress. Social insurance fully developed may provide income security; it is an attack upon Want. But Want is one only of five giants on the road of reconstruction and in some ways the easiest to attack.

“Today age segregation has passed all sane limits. Not only are fifteen-year-olds isolated from seventy-year-olds but social groups divide those in high school from those in junior high, and those who are twenty from those who are twenty-five. There are middle-middle-age groups, late-middle-age groups, and old-age groups - as though people with five years between them could not possibly have anything in common.” PeopleYearsAgeTodaySchoolSocialCommonFiveGroupsMiddleLimitsLateHigh SchoolTwentiesOld AgeFive YearsDividesIsolatedSaneFifteenSeventiesSegregationMiddle AgesJuniorsTwenty FiveFifteen YearsJunior HighSocial Groups Author:Suzanne Gordon
“[Facebook] is shaping a broader web. If you look back for the past five or seven years, the story about social networking has really been about getting people connected... But if you look forward for the next five years, I think that the story people are going to remember five years from now isn't how this one site was built; it is how every single service that you use is now going to be better with your friends.” PeopleIfsThinkingYearsLooksStoriesUsePastRememberNextSocialFiveBuiltSevenConnectedFive YearsSiteSeven YearsNetworkingSocial NetworkingSocial NetworkStory People Author:Mark Zuckerberg
“Suppose it was demonstrated that one out of twenty alcoholics could learn to become a moderate social drinker. The experienced clinician would answer, 'Even if true, act as if it were false, for you will never identify that one in twenty, and in the attempt five in twenty will be ruined.' Investors should forsake the search for such tiny needles in huge haystacks.” IfsShouldSocialAnswersFiveHugeTwentiesInvestingTinyInvestorsRuinedModeratesAlcoholicsNeedlesForsakeDrinkersClinicians Author:Paul Samuelson
