These three very old looking men at the old folks home were talking, one says;
"When I was young my father told me that if I wanted to live a long time, not
to drink, smoke, or fool around with women. That is what I have done. I am 83
and still feel young".
The second one more slowly said that he too had been told the same thing by his
father and he also had heeded his father's warning. "And I am 87 and still feel
young".
The third one said: "It was just the opposite with me, my father told me if I
wanted to have fun in life, to drink, smoke, and fool around with women. That
is what I have always done, and I still feel".
How old are you asked the other two?
"I'm getting on to 22" was the reply.
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of
man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means.
--Karl Marie von Clausewitz (1780-1831), Prussian general. Often misquoted as
"War is nothing but a continuation of politics by other means."
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair.
Edmund Burke
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem
those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
