MrAngry Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway. A reasonable amount of fleas is good for a dog -- keeps him from brooding over being a dog, maybe. The brave person thinks of themselves last of all. Take the world as it is, not as it ought to be. Knowledge is only potential power. Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything. Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. Being a philosopher, I have a problem for every solution. Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another. It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid. Think not I came to send peace on the earth I came not to send peace but a sword. The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: that there is no man really clever who has not found that he is stupid. To me the charm of an encyclopaedia is that it knows and I needn't. That which has been believed by everyone, always and everywhere, has every chance of being false. Give me beauty in the inward soul may the outward and the inward man be at one. The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win you're still a rat. It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
