Aristotle
“Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.”
Aristotle

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”
Cicero

Thomas More
“unless you consider it just for the worst sort of people to have the best living conditions, or unless you're prepared to call a country prosperous, in which all the wealth is owned by a tiny minority - who aren't entirely happy even so, while everyone else is simply miserable.”
Thomas More, Utopia

John Brunner
“Take it for granted that the government will disregard long-term dangers-such as those affecting the environment-in order to cling to power; that the citizenry will do the same because thinking is too much like hard work; and then the handful of Cassandras are proved right, they will be held to blame and very likely stoned or shot.”
John Brunner, The Sheep Look Up

George Orwell
“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. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.”
George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
