When thy next neighbours house is all on fire,
’Tis thy concern to make his flames expire;
For fire will gather strength if let alone,
And with thy neighbours house burn down thine owne.
[Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.
Et neglecta solent incendia sumere vires.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]

A quotation from Jonathan Swift
Conversation is but carving;
Carve for all, yourself is starving:
Give no more to every Guest,
Than he’s able to digest;
Give him always of the Prime;
And but little at a Time.
Carve to all but just enough:
Let them neither starve nor stuff:
And, that you may have your Due,
Let your Neighbours carve for you.Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) English writer and churchman

A quotation from Wendell Berry
It is impossible not to notice how little the proponents of the ideal of competition have to say about honesty, which is the fundamental economic virtue, and how very little they have to say about community, compassion, and mutual help.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

Every Man must seriously set himself to root out his Passions, Prejudices and Attachments, and to get the better of his private Interest. The only reputable Principle and Doctrine must be that all Things must give Way to the public.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
It is all-essential to the continuance of our healthy national life that we should recognize this community of interest among our people. The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us, and therefore in public life that man is the best representative of each of us who seeks to do good to each by doing good to all; in other words, whose endeavor it is not to represent any special class and promote merely that class’s selfish interests, but to represent all true and honest men of all sections and all classes and to work for their interests by working for our common country.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1903-09-07), “The Square Deal,” Labor Day, New York State Agricultural Association, New York State Fair, SyracuseMore about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/6…

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other Nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men and not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1945-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-franklin-d…

Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.
[μηδὲν κατ᾽ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν, μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστος σκοποῦντες ἀλλὰ [καὶ] τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι.]The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
What is not good for the swarm is not good for the bee.

John Tillotson, Anglican Archbishop, preaches on equity. Bettering the condition of humanity preserves the reputation of the gospel. Dealing justly with others preserves our peace.
Today, some Christians seem to paint all complaints against them as the cross they bear for the lord. Some would cut the tie between the reputation of the Gospel and the condition of mankind.
How can you show love for God?

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
We were born for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of upper and lower teeth. So to work against each other is contrary to nature; and resentment and rejection count as working against someone.
[γεγόναμεν γὰρ πρὸς συνεργίαν ὡς πόδες, ὡς χεῖρες, ὡς βλέφαρα, ὡς οἱ στοῖχοι τῶν ἄνω καὶ κάτω ὀδόντων. τὸ οὖν ἀντιπράσσειν ἀλλήλοις παρὰ φύσιν: ἀντιπρακτικὸν δὲ τὸ ἀγανακτεῖν καὶ ἀποστρέφεσθαι.]Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher

Robert South was an Anglican writer and preacher. Here he talks about keeping the peace. He says that one who is oppressing widows, and is grinding the face of the poor, is no less a disturber of the peace than someone who forages the country with an army.
Some today may be more upset that talking about the poor is merely disturbing the peace.
How can you keep the peace?

The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy
"The #PreColonial #Indonesian notion of personhood diverges from a western conceptualisation and is expressed instead through #cooperation, #mutuality, #sharing, #caring, and a readiness to #negotiate and #compromise – all of which are characteristics that are associated with feminine qualities and were thus considered inferior according to #Eurocentric understandings of the #subordination of women in #WesternSociety"
by Desi Dwi Prianti
03 Nov 2019"[In this paper] I argue that a hierarchical structure between masculine and the feminine was introduced by the #Dutch #colonisers – a structure in which they considered themselves to represent the superior, masculine side of the binary, whereas the colonised were seen as their effeminate subjects."

A quotation from Colton, Charles Caleb:
«
The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity; as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame.

A quotation from Thomas a Kempis:
«««««
Now, God has thus ordered things that we may learn to bear one another’s burdens; for there is no man without his faults, none without his burden. None is sufficient in himself; none is wise in himself; therefore, we must support one another, comfort, help, teach, and advise one another.

Cole Arthur Riley writes in her book "This Here Flesh," "... each part of a community would have agency to affect the whole, in whatever way that may be--that community’s survival would depend on each link. I have a friend who calls this mutuality, the truth that says, *We don’t just welcome you or accept you; we need you. We are insufficient without you.* One part’s absence renders the whole impoverished in some way, even if the whole didn’t previously apprehend it. In mutuality, belonging is both a gift received and a gift given. There is comfort in being welcomed, but there is dignity in knowing that your arrival just shifted a group toward deeper wholeness."
That right there... Damn.
