—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
