Jean de La Fontaine

Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

Better a living beggar than a buried emperor.

Rather suffer than die is man's motto.

Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.

Everyone is born sincere and die deceivers.

The universities deceive when they say they have no agenda other than to open minds.
