Quote by Robert McNamara

Coercion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates him.

Coercion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates

Summary

This quote suggests that coercing someone may control their actions, but true freedom has the ability to captivate and inspire them. While coercion relies on force or manipulation to gain compliance, freedom allows individuals to make choices that align with their own desires and values. It implies that people are more motivated, engaged, and fulfilled when they have the freedom to act according to their own will rather than being compelled to do something against their own wishes. Freedom has a transformative power that goes beyond mere control, as it empowers individuals to explore their potentials and live authentically.

Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.

There can be no reconciliation where there is no open warfare. There must be a battle, a brave boisterous battle, with pennants waving and cannon roaring, before there can be peaceful treaties and enthusiastic shaking of hands.
