O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Othello", Act 3 scene 3
- More quotations on: [Jealousy]
O, now, for ever
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content!
Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars
That make ambition virtue! O, farewell!
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats
The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit,
Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone!

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944)
All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber.

Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007), Slaughterhouse V
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
- More quotations on: [War]
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
- More quotations on: [War]
Civilizations in decline are consistently characterised by a tendency towards standardization and uniformity.

Arnold Toynbee (1889 - 1975)
The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.

Anatole France (1844 - 1924), The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard
- More quotations on: [Teaching]
I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence.
