“They, the conservatives, are the real outsides, they tell us, gazing with disgust upon the ludicrous manners of the high and mighty. Or, they tell us, they are rough-and-ready proles, laughing along with us at the efforts of our social "betters" to reform and improve us.

He who neglects these trifles yet boasts that, whenever a great sacrifice is called for, he shall be ready to make it, will rarely be loved. The likelihood is, he will not make it; and if he does, it will be much rather for his own sake than for his neighbor's.” IfsLooksLittlesDoeOpportunitySocialKindnessForeverSacrificeReadyStartingSakeAffectionNeighborToneNeglectGesturesBoastIntercourseTriflesSocial LifeLikelihoodRecurringGreat SacrificeStarting Up Author:George Augustus Henry Sala
“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
