“ Only a small percentage of wild mammal species ended up in happy marriages with humans. ”

Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)

“Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of Society is not natural to mankind. It cuts against the grain. A boy would like to follow his father in pursuit of food or prey. He would like to be doing serviceable things so far as his utmost strength allowed. He would like to be earning wages however small to help to keep up the home. He would like to have some leisure of his own to use or misuse as he pleased. He would ask little more than the right to work or starve. And then perhaps in the evenings a real love of learning would come to those who are worthy – and why try to stuff in those who are not? – and knowledge and thought would open the ‘magic casements’ of the mind.”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill

“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

“The best of men choose to know the One above all else; It is the famous "Eternal" within mortal men. But the majority of men are complacent, like well-fed cattle. They revel in mud; like donkeys, they prefer chaff to gold.”

Fragments • Heraclitus

“No form of Nature is inferior to Art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms.”

Meditations • Marcus Aurelius
