You cannot reason a man out of what he never reasoned himself into.

When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.

The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance.

Najjeftiniji oblik ponosa jest nacionalni ponos. On otkriva pomanjkanje individualnih kvaliteta pojednica, kojima bi se dotični mogao ponositi, jer inače ne bi trebao pribjeći onima koje dijeli s milijunima drugih. Onaj koji posjeduje osobne vrline, će najbolje prepoznati pogreške svoje vlastite nacije, jer mu je ona stalno pred očima. Ali svaki jadnik, koji ništa drugo na svijetu ne posjeduje, na što bi mogao biti ponosan, koristi ovo zadnje sredstvo, naciju kojoj pripada, da bi na nešto mogao biti ponosan. Kroz to se osjeća jačim i spreman je s puno zahvalnosti braniti rukama i nogama svaku njezinu pogrešku i glupost.

Two is one, one is none.

Navy Seals saying

Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.

I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.

Experience is the hardest kind of teacher.

It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward.

When you hear a company say 'we designed our own crypto', think, 'I am taking a cancer drug I designed myself'.

When I realized that people believe what the Internet says more than reality, I discovered that I had the power to make people believe almost anything.

The difference between bitterness, confusion, nostalgia - and resilience is: a plan.

Plus, other recent breaches, such as Gamma and Hacking Team, tell us that even government-affiliated organizations are freely operating without respecting UN embargoes and international regulations anyway - ironically, it was hackers and the security community that exposed them, and not law enforcement. So, who is the law working for?

Your car alarm should yell your name.

Be the sand you wish to see in the gears.

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

A real remedy has to start with the correct diagnosis. And the correct diagnosis is that in the US, populism is rooted in the failure of globalization to deliver palpable benefits to its working class, in Russia, it is rooted in its crony capitalism and inability (or unwillingness) of the West to include Russia as an equal partner, and in China, it is rooted in an inadequate political system.

Nothing changes without individuals and nothing lasts without institutions.

Life is not to be taken seriously. Most people are dumb as fuck. If you look at their voting habits and their eating habits, you realize people are stupid. So we could talk about stupid people or we could just stay with smart people who know how to have fun and not even focus on what dumb people do. It's not worth it. I tell you this as someone who's a smart motherfucker: Don't waste your time fooling with dumb people or trying to figure them out or trying to educate them. It doesn't work. It's a lose-lose situation.

Tyranny is probably established out of no other regime than democracy.
