Mitch Albom
If doubtful whether to end with "yours faithfully”, or "yours truly”, or "your most truly”, &c. (there are at least a dozen varieties, before you reach "yours affectionately”), refer to your correspondent's last letter, and make your winding-up at least as friendly as his: in fact, even if a shade more friendly, it will do no harm! View quote
Lewis Carroll
... if you really care about someone, you must remain unconcerned about how the person may perceive you. Friends or family members may feel disturbed that you won't take drugs, drink alcohol, or even eat meat with them, and that you won't let them do these things in your home. However, remember that caring about other people means that you don't want to see them do harm to themselves. If a person doesn't want to associate with you anymore, then you don't need that kind of association. View quote

The World is a very complex system. It is easy to have too simple a view of it, and it is easy to do harm and to make things worse under the impulse to do good and make things better. View quote
Kenneth Boulding
If the body dies, it does no harm to the mind, but if the mind dies, one can no longer act as a man even though the body survives. View quote

Matthieu Ricard
Man is equal to man. There should not be exploitation. One should help the other. No one should harm anybody. Generally there should be no room for grievance or complaint from anybody. Everyone should live and let others to live, with a national spirit. View quote

The solving of domestic problems belongs exclusively to the Party and people of each country and any kind of interference can only do harm to the cause of socialism, friendship and collaboration among the socialist countries. (Nicolae Ceaușescu)
Perhaps 't is pretty to force together Thoughts so all unlike each other; To mutter and mock a broken charm, To dally with wrong that does no harm. View quote
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Alexander the Great
The interventionists do not approach the study of economic matters with scientific disinterestedness. Most of them are driven by an envious resentment against those whose incomes are larger than their own. This bias makes it impossible for them to see things as they really are. For them the main thing is not to improve the conditions of the masses, but to harm the entrepreneurs and capitalists even if this policy victimizes the immense majority of the people. View quote
Ludwig von Mises
A minister of state is excusable for the harm he does when the helm of government has forced his hand in a storm; but in the calm he is guilty of all the good he does not do. View quote
