The personal contact is a personal thing. The fact that some people don't know their neighbors, I don't think that technology is at fault. You don't lose anything with technology. You gain other avenues of understanding.

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

If we put the camera on ourselves, our friends and neighbors, we'll come up with some scary stuff.
The duty of helping one's self in the highest sense involves the helping of one's neighbors.
My parents were admirers of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Their parents and most of our relatives and neighbors were Republicans, so they were self-conscious in their liberalism and took it as emblematic of their ability to think for themselves.

I think Jordan will emerge as a center of innovation in the Middle East.
German militarism and Nazism have devastated twice in our generation the lands of German neighbors.
