Quote by Desmond Tutu

If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk

Summary

This quote suggests that in order to achieve peace, it is more effective and necessary to engage in dialogue with one's enemies rather than seeking conversations with friends or like-minded individuals. It emphasizes the significance of communication and understanding between opposing sides, as it is through these interactions that conflicts can be resolved and peaceful resolutions can be reached. It underscores the importance of open-mindedness and a willingness to listen to differing perspectives in order to foster harmony and reconciliation.

The worth of men consists in their liability to persuasion.

The worth of men consists in their liability to persuasion. . . . Civilisation is the maintenance of social order, by its own inherent persuasiveness as embodying the nobler alternative. The recourse to force, however unavoidable, is a disclosure of the failure of civilisation, either in the general society or in a remnant of individuals. Thus in a live civilisation there is always an element of unrest. For sensitiveness to ideas means curiosity, adventure, change. Civilised order survives on its merits, and is transformed by its power of Recognizing its imperfections.

Conservatives shouldn't count on the Supreme Court to do our work for us on Obamacare. The Court may rule as it should, and strike down the mandate. But it may not. And even if it does, the future of health care in America - and for that matter, the future of limited government - depends ultimately on the verdict of the American people.
