““Neither the uneducated and uninformed of the truth, nor yet those who never make an end of their education, will be able ministers of State; not the former, because they have no single aim of duty which is the rule of all their actions, private as well as public; nor the latter, because they will not act at all except upon compulsion, fancying that they are already dwelling apart in the islands of the blest.””
Republic • Plato“In order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.”
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer • Mark Twain“Variant translation: If I had to define man it would be: a biped, ungrateful.”

Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
