"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:- ] Freedom of the mind requires not only, or not even especially, the absence of legal constraints but the presence of alternative thoughts. The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities." - Alan Bloom

[Quote No.41987] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:] The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum [war, nationalism, oppression, etc], echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent." - Charles Eliot Norton

[Quote No.42051] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:] Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." - Harry Truman

[Quote No.42093] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:] If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." - John Stuart Mill
(1806 – 1873), British philosopher, political economist, member of parliament and civil servant. He was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy. He has been called 'the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century'.Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsification as the key component in the scientific method. Mill was also a Member of Parliament and an important figure in liberal political philosophy.

[Quote No.42140] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Negotiation: win-win] Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favor, and show them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them ... It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." - Adam Smith
Philosopher. Quote from his famous book on economics, 'Wealth of Nations' (1776).

[Quote No.42204] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Verbal tone:]
Sound is energy. This is a highly significant statement that effects you every time you speak to someone. Your tone of voice creates a specific type of energy. A soft and smooth tone of voice creates peaceful energy. An upbeat or joyous tone of voice creates positive energy. Both of these are in stark contrast to an angry tone of voice that creates an angry loop.
When you speak, your tone of voice creates either positive or distressful feelings in the person on the receiving end of that energy. The other person is likely to speak back to you in a tone that is similar to your own. For this reason King Solomon (Proverbs 15:1) advises us: 'A soft reply turns away anger.' A soft tone of voice has a calming effect both on you the speaker and on the listener." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Happiness', p.171.

"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship: Keep an open mind to new ideas. Why?] Perhaps the sentiments...are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; [as] a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides [and then the ideas can be rationally considered and sometimes even found beneficial]!" - Thomas Paine
Quote from his pamphlet, 'Common Sense', January 1776.

"[In a discussion, in particular when trying to persuade another to change their opinion, brute force is useless but a logically consistent, carefully reasoned argument, empathetically presented, with vivid stories about meeting their needs and desires, is very effective. As Oscar Wilde facetiously said] I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect." - Oscar Wilde
