More From M. Scott Peck

Casey maddox wrote that when philosophy dies, action begins. i would say in addition that when we stop hoping for external assistance, when we stop hoping that the awful situation we're in will somehow resolve itself, when we stop hoping the situation will somehow not get worse, then we are finally free - truly free - to honestly start working to thoroughly resolve it. i would say when hope dies, action begins.

Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism, of sexism, of religious intolerance, of war, of gross economic inequality. but if you don't solve the population problem, you're not going to solve any of those problems. whatever problem you're interested in, you're not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem. whatever your cause, it's a lost cause without population control.

Someone real," i hear myself saying. "someone who never has to pretend, and who i never have to pretend around. someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. someone who knows me better than i know myself. someone i want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. someone i feel like i've known my whole life, even if i haven't.

There are always those who say legislation can't solve the problem. there is a half-truth involved here. it is true that legislation cannot solve the whole problem. it can solve some of the problem. it may be true that morality can't be legislated, but behavior can be regulated.

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. when a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. when a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. and when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. and that's government for you.

Fancy, an animal faculty, is very different from imagination, which is intellectual. the former is passive; but the latter is active and creative. children, the weak minded, and the timid are full of fancy. men and women of intellect, of great intellect, are alone possessed of great imagination.
