“ "Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Honorable things, not secretive things, are sought by good men.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“There are a you and an I, and there is no mine and yours! For without a you and an I, there is no love, and with mine and yours there is no love but “mine” and “yours” (these possessive pronouns) are, of course, formed from a “you” and an “I” and as a consequence seem obliged to be present wherever there are a you and an I. This is indeed the case everywhere, but not in love , which is a revolution from the ground up. The more profound the revolution, the more completely the distinction “mine and yours” disappears, and the more perfect is the love.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“Thus, because we are rapidly advancing along this non-sustainable course, the world's environmental problems will get resolved, in one way or another, within the lifetimes of the children and young adults alive today The only question is whether they will become resolved in pleasant ways of our own choice, or in unpleasant ways not of our choice, such as warfare, genocide, starvation, disease epidemics, and collapses of societies. While all of those grim phenomena have been endemic to humanity throughout our history, their frequency increases with environmental degradation, population pressure, and the resulting poverty and political instability.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
