John  Adams
“Daughter! Get you an honest Man for a Husband, and keep him honest. No matter whether he is rich, provided he be independent. Regard the Honour and moral Character of the Man more than all other Circumstances. Think of no other Greatness but that of the soul, no other Riches but those of the Heart. An honest, Sensible humane Man, above all the Littlenesses of Vanity, and Extravagances of Imagination, labouring to do good rather than be rich, to be usefull rather than make a show, living in a modest Simplicity clearly within his Means and free from Debts or Obligations, is really the most respectable Man in Society, makes himself and all about him the most happy.”
John Adams, Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife

Max Brooks
“Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Kurt Tucholsky
“Der Deutsche fährt nicht wie andere Menschen. Er fährt, um recht zu haben.”
Kurt Tucholsky, Deutschland, Deutschland über alles

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship

Adam Smith
“In regards to the price of commodities, the rise of wages operates as simple interest does, the rise of profit operates like compound interest.

Our merchants and masters complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price and lessening the sale of goods. They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits. They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people.”
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
