“If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living.”
Epistles • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“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“Basic anxiety can be roughly described as a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted or endangered in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, humiliate, betray, envy... . And special in this is the child's feeling that the parents' love, their Christian charity, honesty, generosity ... may be only a pretense.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“We must make the best use that we can of the things which are in our power, and use the rest according to their nature.”
Discourses • Epictetus“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
