― John Rawls, Justice as Fairness: A Restatement

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
― Plato
