“The human being, whether he realises it or not, is trusting someone or something every moment of the day.”
― Idries Shah, Sufi Thought and Action: An Anthology of Important Papers

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

“But one may say something and yet not be able to do it. Try, for instance, lifting yourself up by the bootstraps.”
― Idries Shah, Sufi Thought and Action: An Anthology of Important Papers

“When his highness sends a ship to Egypt, does he trouble his head whether the mice on board are at their ease or not?”
― Voltaire, Candide
