“If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.”
The First Step • Leo Tolstoy“Above all, avoid falsehood, every kind of falsehood, especially falseness to yourself. Watch over your own deceitfulness and look into it every hour, every minute.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“In fact, one of the main lesson to be learned from the collapses of the Maya, Anasazi, Easter Islanders, and those other past societies (as well as from the recent collapse of the Soviet Union) is that a society's steep decline may begin only a decade or two after the society reaches its peak numbers, wealth, and power. [...] The reason is simple: maximum population, wealth, resource consumption, and waste production mean maximum environmental impact, approaching the limit where impact outstrips resources. On reflection, it's no surprise that declines of societies tend to follow swiftly on their peaks.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Broadly speaking, short words are best, and the old words, when short, are best of all.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
