“The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can't know. He can't know whether knowledge will save him or kill him.

― Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”

― John W. Tukey

“Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”
