“If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Choose not to be harmed—and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed—and you haven't been. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Keeping up appearances, living in borrowed finery, wearing masks, the drapery of convention, play-acting for the benefit of others and oneself ... the constant fluttering of human beings around the one flame of vanity is so much the rule and the law that there is virtually nothing which defies understanding so much as the fact that an honest and pure drive towards truth should ever have emerged in them. They are deeply immersed in illusions and dream-images; their eyes merely glide across the surface of things and see 'forms'; nowhere does their perception lead to truth.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“"Well, am I to humor them, these provincial aristocrats? ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
