Author: Arthur Koestler
About: Psychological Subjects
"However human, envy is certainly not one of the sources of discontent that a free society can eliminate. It is probably one of the essential conditions for the preservation of such a society that we do not countenance envy, not sanction its demands by camouflaging it as social justice, but treat it, in the words of John Stuart Mill, as "the most anti-social and evil of all passions."
Author: F.a. Hayek
About: Psychological Subjects
"From the saintly and single-minded idealist to the fanatic is often but a step."
Author: F.a. Hayek

Author: F.a. Hayek
About: Psychological Subjects

Author: F.a. Hayek
About: Psychological Subjects
"Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause;He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws."
