“For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
― Dale Carnegie, How To Win Friends and Influence People

“Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions. It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.”
― Dale Carnegie, How To Win Friends and Influence People

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
