“Men are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of things. Thus death is nothing terrible, else it would have appeared so to Socrates. But the terror consists in our notion of death, that it is terrible. When, therefore, we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved let us never impute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own views. It is the action of an uninstructed person to reproach others for his own misfortunes; of one entering upon instruction, to reproach himself; and of one perfectly instructed, to reproach neither others or himself.”

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

“Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.”

“Humans have a desire for truth. Or they have a desire to believe that what they know is the truth. In other words, the actual truth comes second to that desire. Be mindful of what is the truth and what is a lie. In other words, always doubt yourself. Harbor an inner devil's advocate as you read along... And I won't forget to add that by that point, you might have already fallen into my trap.”
