John Dewey: “In the broad sense any transaction deliberately carried on between two or more persons is social in quality.”

The foe to be dreaded is interference of government.

The ties which hold men together in action are numerous, tough and subtle.

In other words, every officer of the public, whether he represents it as a voter or as a stated official, has a dual capacity.

But in this respect he does not differ from those explicitly designated public officials who have also been known to betray the interest committed to them instead of faithfully representing it.
