Benjamin Constant quote about navigating life, people, and ambitionCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I become more and more convinced daily that one must deal with life and people almost as cunningly if one wants to avoid others as if one wants to use them for one's own purposes. Ambition is less foolish than one believes, because to live in peace, one must exert oneself almost as much as when trying to control people." Benjamin Constant
Albert Jay Nock quote about Isaiah, Plato, and the character of the massesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"If the modern spirit, whatever that may be, is disinclined towards taking the Lord's word at its face value (as I hear is the case), we may observe that Isaiah's testimony to the character of the masses has strong collateral support from respectable Gentile authority. Plato lived into the administration of Eubulus, when Athens was at the peak of its jazz-and-paper era, and he speaks of the Athenian masses with all Isaiah's fervency, even comparing them to a herd of ravenous wild beasts."
