“The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is great; but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost / for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train. But, whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it: It is here; we cannot evade it; no substitutes for it have been found; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.”
Andrew Carnegie
“What would the world look like if we took competition out for the day? No one would worry about being judged. There would be no need. Friend circles abolished, People now accept everyone for what they are. Jealousy gone. Friends? Everywhere. We spend so much of our life worrying about what people think. Worrying about how we look. Worrying about how we are perceived. All for what? Seeing who is the best? Seeing who can look the prettiest? Seeing who is the hottest? Seeing who is the smartest?”
Elliott Morreau
“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”
Isaac Asimov
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.”
John Lennon
“You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society”
C.S. Lewis
“Man perfected by society is the best of all animals; he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice.”
Aristotle
