““It is the nature of men to be bound by the benefits they confer as much as by those they receive.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune ... to lose both seems like carelessness.”
The importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde““Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Let an understanding man imagine human nature originally produced without the sense of sight, and consider what ignorance and trouble such a defect would bring upon him, what a darkness and blindness in the soul; he will then see by that of how great importance to the knowledge of truth would be the privation of such another sense, or of two or three, should we be so deprived.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
