Douglas Adams
“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Oscar Wilde
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Mark Twain
“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
Mark Twain

Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
