Charles Horton Cooley Quotes
«When one ceases from conflict, whether because he has won, because he has lost, or because he cares no more for the game, the virtue passes out of him.»

«No matter what a man does, he is not fully sane or human unless there is a spirit of freedom in him, a soul unconfined by purpose and larger than the practicable world.»
«We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind.»
Author: Charles Horton Cooley
