The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
-Aristotle
We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
-Henry A. Kissinger
Both the good and the pleasant present themselves to a man. The calm soul examines them well and discriminates. Yes, he prefers the good to the pleasant; but the fool chooses the pleasant out of greed and avarice.
Wherever there is real creative work, it is almost always associated with beauty.
-I. K. Taimni
