“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“No profit whatever can possibly be made but at the expense of another. . . . The Merchant only thrives, and grows rich, by the pride, wantonness and debauchery of youth; the husbandman by the price and scarcity of grain; the architect by the ruin of buildings; lawyers, and officers of Justice, by the suits and contentions of men; nay even the honor and office of Divines are derived from our death and vices. A physician takes no pleasure in the health even of his friends . . . nor a soldier in the peace of his country and so of the rest.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“How singular is the thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it; for they never come to a man together, and yet he who pursues either of them is generally compelled to take the other. They are two, and yet they grow together out of one head or stem.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Fortune, seeing that she could not make fools wise, has made them lucky.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Nothing is so strange when one is in love ... as the complete indifference of other people.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf
