Lao Tse, In a discussion with Confucious about the true nature of humanity.


Give up your relentless moralizing, the continual pinpricks which pierce the skin of your fellows. The distinction between good and evil is the sickness of the mind. Give up your morals, and the people will regain a love of their fellows.

Alphonse Desjardins, The Canadian credit union pioneer made the remarks in a speech in the early 1900s.

Neither is it a loan company, seeking to make a profit at the expense of the unfortunates� The credit union is nothing of the kind; it is the expression in the field of economics of a high social ideal.

Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
