• I come here because it is fun. I have fun when I come here. I do not come here because I feel that I have any great responsibility for your beings or welfare.

  Seth

• Engineers are not the only professional designers. Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.

  Herbert Simon

• Maybe we should be directing our anger elsewhere - like toward Wall Street. Why is it we never think of Big Business when we think of welfare recipients?

  Michael Moore

• Immediately upon the fall, the mind of man shrank from its primitive greatness and expandedness, to an exceeding smallness and contractedness... Before, his soul was under the government of the noble principles of divine love, whereby it was enlarged to the comprehensiveness of all his fellow creatures and their welfare... [But] sin, like some powerful astringent, contracted his soul to the very small dimensions of selfishness, and God was forsaken, and man retired within himself, and became totally governed by narrow and selfish principles and feelings.

  Jonathan Edwards

• Capitalism is very far from a perfect system, but so far we have yet to find anything that clearly does a better job of meeting human needs than a regulated capitalist economy coupled with a welfare and health care system that meets the basic needs of those who do not thrive in the capitalist economy. If we ever do find a better system, I'll be happy to call myself an anti-capitalist.

• There are three kinds of love;
  unselfish, mutual, and selfish.
  The unselfish love is of the highest kind;
  The lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings.
  In mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved;
  but has an eye towards his own happiness also. It is middling.
  The selfish love is the lowest. It only looks towards its own happiness,
  no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.

  Ramakrishna

  Selfish, Eye, Love Is
