“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“You look rather rash my dear your colors don’t quite match your face.”
—Daisy Ashford (1881–1972)
“Whoever understands how to do a kindness when he fares well would be a friend better than any possession.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
