Say not that this is revenge, call it rather the soft resentment of a suffering people, who, having no object in view but the good of all, have staked their own all upon a seemingly doubtful event. Yet it is folly to argue against determined hardness; eloquence may strike the ear, and the language of sorrow draw forth the tear of compassion, but nothing can reach the heart that is steeled with prejudice.

Thomas Paine

‎"Anger is always a sign of weakness. Just plainly and simply
put the whole thing; perhaps the other person may find
that you are right and may be thankful to you.
Or perhaps the other person may have better reasons than you;
then you will be thankful to the other person because he helps to raise your consciousness."

Osho

What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?

Friedrich Nietzsche

He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

~ Oscar Wilde

Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.

~ John Locke

Since we can never hope to understand why we're here, if there's even anything to understand, the individual should choose a goal and pursue it wholeheartedly, despite the certainty of death and the meaninglessness of action.

Martin Heidegger

What worries you, masters you. ~ John Locke
