[They] will follow the bark of liberty only by the help of a tow-rope.

Many recent discoveries have brought undeniable benefits to humanity. Indeed, they demonstrate the nobility of the human vocation to participate responsibly in God's creative action in the world. Unfortunately, it is now clear that the application of these discoveries in the fields of industry and agriculture have produced harmful long-term effects.
Pope John Paul IIAmong the current discussions, the impact of new and sophisticated methods in the study of the past occupies an important place.

Maria MontessoriThe progress of science in furnishing the government with means of espionage is not likely to stop with wire tapping. Ways may some day be developed by which the government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home.

'That places the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer' was said by James Otis of much lesser intrusions than these.

Lewis Fry RichardsonIn all the known history of Mankind, advances have been made primarily in physical technology; in the capacity of handling the inanimate world about Man. Control of self and society has been left to to chance or to the vague gropings of intuitive ethical systems based on inspiration and emotion. As a result no culture of greater stability than about fifty-five percent has ever existed, and these only as the result of great human misery.
Isaac AsimovAll children find chaos congenial. Any unruliness, even by nature, advances the child's program of subverting authority.
George WillDid you ever see a chameleon catch a fly?

LobengulaIt would have been better to come back at the same hour,โ said the fox. โIf, for example, you came at four oโclock in the afternoon, then at three oโclock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four oโclock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . .
Antoine de Saint-ExuperyI learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. . . .
