““A prince who is not wise himself will never take good advice.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“And when you see a man who is repining at the approach of death, is not his reluctance a sufficient proof that he is not a lover of wisdom, but a lover of the body, and probably at the same time a lover of either money or power, or both?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“That science is incapable of solving in its own way those fundamental questions is no sufficient reason for slighting them”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”
Henry IV • William Shakespeare
