“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“The exchange of one fear or pleasure or pain for another fear or pleasure or pain, which are measured like coins, the greater with the less, is not the exchange of virtue. O, my dear Simmias, is there not one true coin, for which all things ought to exchange?—and that is wisdom; and only in exchange for this, and in company with this, is anything truly bought or sold, whether courage or temperance or justice. ...in the true exchange, there is a purging away of all these things, and temperance, and justice, and courage, and wisdom herself are a purgation of them.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““The people do not wish to be ruled nor oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles wish to rule and oppress the people.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Patriotism: Your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.”
A Journal of Democracy • George Bernard Shaw“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
