* 1


...most of life is not zero-sum. Generally, both sides can do well, or both can do poorly. Mutual cooperation is often possible, but not always achieved.


* 2


We are used to thinking about competitions in which there is only one winner, competitions such as football or chess. But the world is rarely like that. In a vast range of situations mutual cooperation can be better for both sides than mutual defection. The key to doing well lies not in overcoming others, but in eliciting their cooperation.


* 3


People grow through participation.


* 4


I don't mind apologizing for you in the least. You apologize for me, I apologize for you, and isn't that a fitting maneuver in charity and good will? Nobody need apologize for himself -- which is always so humiliating. Using my system, however, everyone gets apologized for, and nobody has to do his own apologizing.


* 5


...kindness and good-nature unite men more effectually and with greater strength than any agreements whatsoever; since thereby the engagements of men's hearts become stronger than the bond and obligation of words.


* 6


Organization arises from the conciousness that, for a certain purpose, the cooperation of several forces is necessary. When this purpose is achieved the necessity for cooperation has ceased, and each force reassumes its previous independence, ready for other cooperation and combination if necessary. This... refers not only to the economical and industrial relations between man and man, but also to the sexual relations between man and woman, without which a harmonious social life is impossible.


* 7


...under any set of conditions, associations represent social efforts to control social change. In traditional societies they represent forces resisting change; in more dynamic societies they are also forces for bringing about change and restructuring community power relations.


* 8


In the awakening resistance to both [Capitalism and Sovietism], the workers are beginning to perceive that they can fight successfully only by adhering to and proclaiming the exactly opposite principle -- the principle of devoted collaboration of free and equal personalities. Theirs is the task of finding out the way in which the principle can be carried out in their practical action.


* 9


...he ends by becoming a hater of philosophy, uncivilized, never using the weapon of persuasion, -- he is like a wild beast, all violence and fierceness, and knows no other way of dealing; and he lives in all ignorance and evil conditions, and has no sense of propriety and grace.


* 10


It accords most closely with the natural law, if men are at peace with one another, voluntarily performing their obligations...


* 11


...the old and simple truth that it is natural for men to help and to love one another, but not to torture and to kill one another, became ever clearer, so that fewer and fewer people were able to believe the sophistries by which the distortion of the truth had been made so plausible.
