Epictetus

A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread.

Edmund Burke

Zig Ziglar

There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.

Montesquieu

Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows.

Alfred North Whitehead
