No one can earn a million dollars honestly.
- William Jennings Bryan

....

My father had a couple of restaurants in Finland. He died already in -84 but I can always remember him sitting in his study, a nice glass of single malt in his hand and a cigar in ashtray, joking with me and my brother: "Do you know how do you end up with a million easily in this business? You start with two millions! And before you know, you have just a million."

Just a joke of his, he never had millions (not even one). Still, a nice memory: my father's joke.

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.

The price of apathy towards public
affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Good people do not need laws to tell
them to act responsibly, while bad people
will find a way around the laws.

Those who are too smart to engage in
politics are punished by being governed
by those who are dumber.

All three by Plato.

Another one about the many forms of love:


"When he drops you off, I will not say
Who was that who so quickly drove away...
The things you've done and the places you've been
When I open the door for you
I will not let them in...

As long as you come back to me
I will never ask
For you I will be
The man in the iron mask"

By Billy Bragg (can be found on Youtube)

Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Were the other books' messages wrong?
The quotes listed above can't be argued though.

Yeah, a wise man, but a bit untolerant. And no matter what the books said, it doesnt give him the right to burn them. Everyone listened to Plato, and thus did what he said :shock:

Yeah, I agree....just because you disagree with someone else's views doesn't give you the right to silence them.
