I would like to see people behave well without having to have priests stand by, politicians stand by, or people collecting bills.  (B F Skinner Quotes) Behavior is shaped and maintained by its consequences  (B F Skinner Quotes) If you’re old, don’t try to change yourself, change your environment  (B F Skinner Quotes) Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless  (B F Skinner Quotes) The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do  (B F Skinner Quotes) The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount  (B F Skinner Quotes) We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading  (B F Skinner Quotes) We do not choose survival as a value, it chooses us  (B F Skinner Quotes) The mob rushes in where individuals fear to tread  (B F Skinner Quotes) A piece of music is an experience to be taken by itself  (B F Skinner Quotes) Men build society and society builds men  (B F Skinner Quotes) We have not yet seen what man can make of man  (B F Skinner Quotes) Chaos breeds geniuses.
