“Loyalty gives traitors opportunity.”
Oedipus • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“"The environment has to be balanced against the economy." This quote portrays environmental concerns as a luxury, views measures to solve environmental problems as incurring a net cost, and considers leaving environmental problems unsolved to be a money-saving device. This one-liner puts the truth exactly backwards. Environmental messes cost us huge sums of money both in the short run and in the long run; cleaning up or preventing those messes saves us huge sums in the long run, and often in the short run as well. In caring for the health of our surroundings, just as of our bodies, it is cheaper and preferable to avoid getting sick than to try to cure illnesses after they have developed.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“"Nothing would stop Gregor's father as he drove him back, making hissing noises at him like a wild man."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka““Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“Do you really think ... that it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to. To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not -- there is no weakness in that.”
An Ideal Husband • Oscar Wilde
