"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war ever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events." - Winston Churchill

[Quote No.40878] Need Area: Friends > General
"What cowardice it is to be dismayed by the happiness of others and devastated by their good fortune. [Their good fortune is not our bad fortune. Comparing is a critical part of how our brains create emotions - relief, happiness and gratitude are the emotions we create and feel when we compare our situation with something that is not as good and frustration, unhappiness and bitterness when we compare our situation with something that is better. But when we compare our lives against others' lives, rather than our own real or imagined life, we misuse this mental ability to create and feel the relationship destroying 'sins' of pride and jealousy. While it is common it is not a positive or productive use of this mental capacity and it has caused much more personal misery and envy-inspired abuse of and conflict with others than any other misuse of our mental skills.]" - Montesquieu

[Quote No.40885] Need Area: Friends > General
"Gross National Happiness...At the World Bank forum held in February 2002 in Kathmandu, Nepal, the representative of Bhutan, a Himalayan Buddhist kingdom the size of Switzerland, asserted that while his country’s gross national product [GNP] was not very high, he was, conversely, more than satisfied with its gross national happiness index. Bhutan’s policy of gross national happiness (GNH), viewed with indulgent smiles or private mockery by representatives of the ‘overdeveloped’ countries, was established in the 1980’s by King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and ratified by its parliament. In many industrial nations, economic prosperity is often equated with happiness. However, it is well known that while buying power has risen by 16 percent over the past thirty years in the United States, the percentage of people calling themselves ‘very happy’ has fallen from 36 to 29 percent [D. Leonhardt, ‘If Richer Isn’t Happier, What Is?’, ‘New York Times’, May 19, 2001 B9-11]. We are therefore heading for trouble if we peg our happiness to the Dow Jones Index. Seeking happiness only by improving material conditions is like grinding sand in the hopes of extracting oil." - Matthieu Ricard
Initially a young researcher in cellular genetics at the French Institut Pasteur with Nobel Prize in Medicine winner, Francois Jacob, he has for the last 35 years been a Buddhist Monk, living and working on humanitarian projects in Tibet and Nepal. He has been dubbed the ‘happiest person in the world’ by the popular media. Quote from his best-selling book, ‘The Art of Happiness- A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill’.

[Quote No.40914] Need Area: Friends > General
"Ethics is not always simple. According to Jeremy Bentham, an English philosopher of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and a founder of moral utilitarianism, in his book, ‘The Principles of Morals and Legislation’, ‘the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.’ This idea gives justification for democracy and majority rule. But there is a classic dilemma with this as summarized by Andre Comte-Sponville’s question, in his work, ‘Petit Traite’: ‘If you had to condemn one innocent (or torture one child, as Dostoevsky frames it) to save humankind, should you do it?’ [Another less drastic but similar question would be the Robin Hood dilemma, ’Is it morally acceptable to steal – even if it is from a rich minority to give to a poor majority?’] ‘No!’ most philosophers say. Immanuel Kant, in his book, ‘The Philosophy of Law: An Exposition of the Fundamental Principles of Jurisprudence as the Science of Right’ says, ‘For if justice were to disappear human existence on Earth would be of no value.’ Comte-Sponville goes further: ‘This is where utilitarianism reaches its limit. If justice were merely a contract of convenience...a maximization of the collective well-being...it would be fair, in order to ensure the well-being of almost everyone, to sacrifice the few without their consent and even if they were perfectly innocent and defenceless. That, however, is just what justice forbids, or should forbid. John Rawls, drawing on Kant, is quite right in this respect: justice is worth more than well-being or efficiency, and is better than either, and must not be sacrificed to them, even for the happiness of the greatest number. This is the basis of human rights which define what the majority can never over-ride even in a democracy. Simply the majority alone cannot decide what is right. Might is not right. This is why for example the Founding Fathers of the United States in their profound philosophical and practical wisdom went out of their way to enshrine certain human rights in their actions and social contract with the people. For example, the United States’ Declaration of Independence lists ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’ among the ‘unalienable rights’ or ‘sovereign rights of man’ and The Bill of Rights, which protects the ‘natural rights’ of liberty and property, is included as the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. [The contemporary American philosopher, John Rawls, in his book, ‘A Theory of Justice’ (2005), formulated one of the most important critiques of utilitarianism. He rejected the doctrine of collective happiness as ultimate justification for our acts and proposed in its stead respect for the inviolability of individual rights, along with the principle of equal freedom and equitable cooperation, which is consistent with the Golden Rule, found in nearly all major religions although phrased in different ways, of equally ‘treating each person as we’d like to be treated if we were in their place’.]" - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

"We live in the absurdist world that Bastiat described as ‘plunder of all by all’ and the poor masses are constantly trying to vote themselves the wealth of the Elites. The Elites, in turn, use inflation as a weapon against the ignorant masses to get back at them." - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.40962] Need Area: Friends > General
"One can say without exaggeration that inflation is an indispensable intellectual means of militarism. Without it, the repercussions of war on welfare would become obvious much more quickly and penetratingly; war-weariness would set in much earlier... Who has any doubt that the belligerent peoples of Europe would have tired of war much more quickly if their governments had clearly and candidly laid before them at the time the account of their war expenditure? ...In his book on Eternal Peace, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant suggested that government should be forbidden to finance wars by borrowing. He expected that the warlike spirit would dwindle if all countries had to pay cash for their wars [rather than to borrow and then print and create inflation to pay it back with devalued currency]." - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.40966] Need Area: Friends > General
"What elevates man above all other animals is the cognition that peaceful cooperation under the principle of the division of labor is a better method to preserve life and to remove felt uneasiness than indulging in pitiless biological competition for a share in the scarce means of subsistence provided by nature. Guided by this insight, man alone among all living beings consciously aims at substituting [freely chosen] social cooperation for what philosophers have called the state of nature or 'bellum omnium contra omnes' or the law of the jungle." - Ludwig von Mises

"The characteristic feature of militarism is not the fact that a nation has a powerful army or navy. It is the paramount role assigned to the army within the political structure. Even in peacetime the army is supreme; it is the predominant factor in political life. The subjects must obey the government as soldiers must obey their superiors. Within a militarist community there is no freedom; there are only obedience and discipline." - Ludwig von Mises

"The men [and women] who are to protect the community against violent aggression easily turn into the most dangerous aggressors. They transgress their mandate. They misuse their power for the oppression of those whom they were expected to defend against oppression. [This is potentially true of anyone who society has bestowed with power for a period of time rather than on a day by day basis.

[Quote No.41003] Need Area: Friends > General
"A government that sets out [in order ingratiate itself paternally and thereby hold on to power] to abolish market prices is inevitably driven toward the abolition of private property; it has to recognize that there is no middle way between the system of private property in the means of production combined with free contract, and the system of common ownership of the means of production, or socialism. It is gradually forced toward [a less free society with] compulsory production, universal obligation to labor, rationing of consumption, and, finally, official regulation of the whole of production and consumption." - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.41005] Need Area: Friends > General
"The essential teaching of liberalism is that social cooperation and the division of labor can be achieved only in a system of private ownership of the means of production, i.e., within a market society, or capitalism. All the other principles of liberalism- democracy, personal freedom of the individual, freedom of speech and of the press, religious tolerance, peace among the nations are consequences of this basic postulate. They can be realized only within a society based on private property." - Ludwig von Mises
[1881 – 1973], an Austrian-American economist, historian, philosopher, author, and classical liberal who had a significant influence on the modern free-market libertarian movement and the Austrian School of economics. Refer the website [ mises.org ].
