Socrates
“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”
Socrates

Epictetus
“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.”
Epictetus

Silvia Hartmann
“Chaos is complexity viewed through a reductionist filter.”
Silvia Hartmann

Stephen Colbert
“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”
Stephen Colbert

Peter M. Senge
“Scratch the surface of most cynics and you find a frustrated idealist — someone who made the mistake of converting his ideals into expectations.”
Peter Senge
