George Horace Lorimer
“Poverty never spoils a good man, but prosperity often does. It’s easy to stand hard times, because that’s the only thing you can do, but in good times the fool-killer has to do night work.”
George Lorimer, Letters From A Merchant To His Son: Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son Classics, Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son George Horace Lorimer Illustrated and Annotated

Xenophon
“I made my people understand the crucial difference between modesty and self-control. The modest person, I told them, will do nothing blameworthy in the light of day, but a true paragon of self-control—which we all should strive to be—avoids unworthy actions even in the deepest secrecy of his private life.”
Xenophon, Cyrus the Great: The Arts of Leadership and War

George Horace Lorimer
“You can cure a ham in dry salt and you can cure it in sweet pickle, and when you’re through you’ve got pretty good eating either way, provided you started in with a sound ham.”
George Lorimer, Letters From A Merchant To His Son: Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son Classics, Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son George Horace Lorimer Illustrated and Annotated

George Horace Lorimer
“It has been my experience that, even when a man has a sense of humor, it only really carries him to the point where he will join in a laugh at the expense of the other fellow. There’s nothing in the world sicker-looking than the grin of the man who’s trying to join in heartily when the laugh’s on him, and to pretend that he likes it.  ”
George Lorimer, Letters From A Merchant To His Son: Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son Classics, Letters From A Self-Made Merchant To His Son George Horace Lorimer Illustrated and Annotated

Carlo Strenger
“One of my most deeply held assumptions about human life is that without freedom of thought humans cannot fully evolve.”
Carlo Strenger, The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the Twenty-First Century
