“Speech is a powerful master and achieves the most divine feats with the smallest and least evident body. It can stop fear, relieve pain, create joy, and increase pity”
Gorgias • Plato“The object of Parliament is to substitute argument for fisticuffs.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Plain as the nose on a man's face.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“"The environment has to be balanced against the economy." This quote portrays environmental concerns as a luxury, views measures to solve environmental problems as incurring a net cost, and considers leaving environmental problems unsolved to be a money-saving device. This one-liner puts the truth exactly backwards. Environmental messes cost us huge sums of money both in the short run and in the long run; cleaning up or preventing those messes saves us huge sums in the long run, and often in the short run as well. In caring for the health of our surroundings, just as of our bodies, it is cheaper and preferable to avoid getting sick than to try to cure illnesses after they have developed.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“It is said that their souls (animals) are inferior. Yes, but in the end, like us, they feel pain and joy. Their inferiority determines for us the duty of the elder brother, not the right of tyranny and oppression.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat
