““You don’t have to cry just because you’re sad.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“No feats of heroism are needed to achieve the greatest and most important changes in the existence of humanity; neither the armament of millions of soldiers, nor the construction of new roads and machines, nor the arrangement of exhibitions, nor the organization of workmen's unions, nor revolutions, nor barricades, nor explosions, nor the perfection of aerial navigation; but a change in public opinion.”
Patriotism and Christianity • Leo Tolstoy“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““If a task isn’t worth being done properly, then it’s not worth doing at all.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
