Georg C. Lichtenberg
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Walter Lippmann
The most positive men are the most credulous.
Alexander Pope
Men don’t and can’t live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. They don’t live by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions and take that of laborers Unions.
John Ruskin

Richard Wagner
Controversy equalizes fools and wise men – and the fools know it.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
They died hard, those savage men – like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.

Men trust their ears less than their eyes.
Herodotus
All men’s misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.
