Arthur Schopenhauer about Conformism

'We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.' ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

THE FREEMAN

"Freedom rests, and always will, on individual responsibility, individual integrity, individual effort, individual courage, and individual religious faith. It does not rest in Washington. It rests with you and me."

~ Ed Lipscomb, quoted in THE FREEMAN, 7/72.

"What together we can do for the freedom of man?"

  Q:   Why the second part of the quote is rarely, if at all, quoted?

"And so, my fellow Americans:  ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.  My fellow citizens of the World:  ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961
