“It would be mortifying to the feelings of many ladies, could they be made to understand how little the heart of man is affected by what is costly or new in their attire.”
Northanger Abbey • Jane Austen“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“My views may seem to ignore a moral imperative that businesses should follow virtuous principles, whether or not it is most profitable for them to do so. Instead I prefer to recognize that, throughout human history, [...] government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found to be necessary for the enforcement of moral principles. Invocation of moral principles is a necessary first step for eliciting virtuous behavior, but that alone is not a sufficient step.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond““Justice is the giving to each man what is proper to him, and this he termed a debt.””
Republic • Plato“Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
