[Quote No.41027] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Man [who has throughout history painfully learned the critical need to value facts and freedom above all else as inalienable human rights and therefore refuses to resort to fraud and force] has only one tool to fight error: [imaginative] reason... [Combined with imagination] Logic is for man the only means to master the problems of reality... What mankind needs today is liberation from the rule of nonsensical slogans and a return to sound [imaginative] reasoning... [Combined with imagination] Reason is the main resource of man in his struggle for survival. " - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.41078] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Truth has its own way. It works and produces effects even if [religious, ideological or political] party programs and textbooks refuse to acknowledge it as truth... the criterion of truth is that it works even if nobody is prepared to acknowledge it... At least one of the characteristic marks of a true theory is that action based on it succeeds in attaining the expected result. In this sense, truth works while untruth does not work... Truth refers to what is or was, not to a state of affairs that is not or was not but would suit the wishes of the truth-seeker better." - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.41348] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"All is flux...No man ever steps in the same river twice...[All is change. Change is the only constant. This is reiterated in the Sufi story of what can be said that is eternally true for every experience and situation, namely, 'This too shall pass!' because everything is temporary. But there is also the proverb coined by the French novelist Alphonse Karr, 'The more things change, the more they stay the same' (Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose) - that makes the point that beneath the constant change there are eternal truths - the transcendent wisdom and the laws of nature and life, that philosophers and scientists have searched for in the past and will continue searching for throughout humanity's existence so they can understand why, as Mark Twain said, 'History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme' and therefore use that understanding to better guide human life.]" - Heraclitus
(circa 535 BCE – circa 475 BCE), Heraclitus of Ephesus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and a native of the Greek city Ephesus, Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor.

[Quote No.41349] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Have you ever wished that life came with an instruction manual? That your childhood educational system would have taught the basic lessons of how to live a meaningful life [LIFE-skills]? That our elders were our mentors in the full sense of the word - gladly sharing their vast life knowledge and experience in a manner full of support and encouragement? It sounds like utopia, doesn't it?
Too often in modern society it seems like individuals are thrown out into life like a baby into a stormy ocean - to sink or swim on their own, to make a happy, successful life by somehow (by osmosis?) learning the real rules of existence. Unfortunately, these lessons are seldom taught by the respected institutions of our various societies. It should come as no surprise then that they are even less often put into practice. Are there mysterious secrets which one can discover to master life? Or is this merely naive wishful thinking? I believe it is neither. The lessons of living a meaningful, happy life are not unattainable arcana hidden on the dark side of the moon, accessible only to channelers and oracles. Nor are they the illusive dreaming of the gullible eternal optimist. In fact, most of us know how to live a meaningful, satisfied life. It's just that we forget. Luckily, there are those who remind us. [The imagi-natives.com website is an organised and searchable repository of these little pearls of wisdom from humanity's most imaginative, creative and productive to help us remember, use and share them so we can all freely meet our needs, pursue our dreams and continually grow better at being our best selves, for the good of all.]" - Kenn Kassman
He earned his doctorate in political science at the University of Hawaii. He currently teaches futures studies and American cultural courses at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany.
