People themselves arrive at the necessity for cooperation.

1.  Family, clan, country, union of nations—each unit strives toward peace, toward betterment of life.  Each unit of cooperation and communal life needs perfecting.  No one can fix the limits of evolution.  By this line of reasoning a worker becomes a creator.  Let us not be frightened by the problems of creativity.  

2.  Depression is the enemy of each improvement. There can be no constructive building in doubt.  There will be no learning under fear.  Observation is a step toward justice.  Self-concerrn is betrayal of self-renunciation.  Without achievement there is no path.   

3.  Communal life has long been a sign of cooperation and of mutual respect.  So too each workshop can be a cell of a community in which everybody contributes his skill.  Altruism is a requisite if one is to devote one’s talent to the common work.   -M:  Community 1926

280.  Scientists must have sufficient integrity not to insist on unproven theories however spectacular they may be.
