“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”

Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard

“The forces of progress clash with those of reaction.”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill

“14. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

The Art Of War • Sun Tzu

““Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn / In flowing Purple, their Lord forlorn; / Nor rolling Heaven, with all his Signs reveal’d / And hidden by the sleeve of Night and Morn.””

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam

“A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.”

Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO
