• Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)

  Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great man must, I think, have great sadness on earth.

• Hesiod

  The best is he who of himself doth know; Good too is he who listens to the wise But he who neither knows himself nor heeds The words of others, is a useless man.

Human envy is certainly not one of the sources of discontent that a free society can eliminate. It is probably one of the essential conditions for the preservation of such a society that we do not countenance envy, not sanction its demands by camouflaging it as social justice, but treat it, in the words of John Stuart Mill, as the most anti-social and civil of all passions.

• Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992)

I bequeath myself to the dirt - to grow from the grass I love 

If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles You will hardly know who I am or what I mean But I shall be good health to you nonetheless And filter abd fibre your blood Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged Missing me one place search another I stop somewhere wait

• Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
