“Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”
Maxim for Revolutionists • George Bernard Shaw““For let me tell you, that the more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.””
Republic • Plato“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change?”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”
The Counterfeiters • Andre Gide
