“The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.'”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“Private property ... has led Individualism entirely astray. It has made gain not growth its aim.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“And will he who is a true lover of wisdom, and is persuaded in like manner that only in the world below can he worthily enjoy her, still repine at death? Will he not depart with joy? Surely he will, my friend, if he be a true philosopher. ...And if this be true, he would be very absurd, ...if he were to fear death.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse--hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Two types of choices seem to me to have been crucial in tipping their outcomes towards success or failure: long-term planning, and willingness to reconsider core values. On reflection, we can also recognize the crucial role of these same two choices for the outcomes of our individual lives.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
