“We should not have either a blunt knife or a freedom of speech which is ill-managed.”
Enchiridion • Epictetus“Thus, because we are rapidly advancing along this non-sustainable course, the world's environmental problems will get resolved, in one way or another, within the lifetimes of the children and young adults alive today The only question is whether they will become resolved in pleasant ways of our own choice, or in unpleasant ways not of our choice, such as warfare, genocide, starvation, disease epidemics, and collapses of societies. While all of those grim phenomena have been endemic to humanity throughout our history, their frequency increases with environmental degradation, population pressure, and the resulting poverty and political instability.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many partings welded together.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”
Fragment • Epictetus““People who are to be comfortable are accustomed to lie on sofas, and dine off tables, and they should have sauces and sweets in the modern style.””
Republic • Plato
