If we can reduce the risk of friction likely to lead to war, this is probably all we can reasonably hope to achieve.

The state itself becomes more and more identified with the interests of those who run things than with the interests of the people in general.

The idea of social justice is that the state should treat different people unequally in order to make them equal.

Each member of society can have only a small fraction of the knowledge possessed by all, and...each is therefore ignorant of most of the facts on which the working of society rests...civilization rests on the fact that we all benefit from knowledge which we do not possess. And one of the ways in which civilization helps us to overcome that limitation on the extent of individual knowledge is by conquering intelligence, not by the acquisition of more knowledge, but by the utilization of knowledge which is and which remains widely dispersed among individuals.

We shall not grow wiser before we learn that much that we have done was very foolish.
