“I has no significance until it becomes the you to whom eternity incessantly speaks and says: you shall, you shall, you shall.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard““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“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
