Facts are counterrevolutionary.
From Eric Hoffer
Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
A grievance is most poignant when almost redressed.
To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.
Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.
A man by himself is in bad company.
Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the things they do not want to do.
It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate.
It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands, new undertakings, and new forms of expression.
A great man's greatest good luck is to die at the right time.
