As is the case with social policy in any State the student must eventually make up his own mind and act on his own convictions. Even if the term Welfare State were to pass out of common usage he would still find himself discussing The Good Society, for the debate is in fact about the meaning and conditions of the good life, always to be sought, never finally to be attained. Kathleen M. Slack, Social Administration and The Citizen, p.74.

A name is worthless without a backing of descriptions which can be produced on demand to explain its application. P. F. Strawson, Individuals, p.20.
