"It is of no avail to know..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Not to be covetous, is money; not to be a purchaser, is a revenue.”

“To be ignorant of the past is to be forever a child.”

“Politicians are not born; they are excreted.”

“There can be no excess to love, none to knowledge, none to beauty.”

“A man receives only what he is ready to receive, whether physically or intellectually or morally, as animals conceive at certain seasons their kind only. We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.”

“No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.”

“Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.”

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”

“Whoever controls the image and information of the past determines what and how future generations will think; whoever controls the information and images of the present determines how those same people will view the past." "He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future conquers the past.”
