“If more of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, it would be a much merrier world.”
The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien“[Why is suicide held not to be right?] There is a doctrine uttered in secret that a man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door to his prison and run away; this is a great mystery which I do not understand. Yet I too, believe that the gods are our guardians, and that we are a possession of theirs. ...And if one of your possessions, an ox or an ass, for example took the liberty of putting himself out of the way when you had given no intimation of your wish that he should die, would you not be angry with him, and would you not punish him if you could? ...Then there may be reason in saying that a man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons him, as he is now summoning me.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“ "They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius
