“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.”
― Galileo Galilei

“A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition”
― Rudyard Kipling

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
