"The cost of obedience is small compared..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.”

“Better to have fewer wants than greater riches to supply increasing wants.”

“...But we enjoyed playing games and were punished for them by men who played games themselves. However, grown-up games are known as 'business' and even though boys' games are much the same, they are punished for them by their elders. No one pities either the boys or the men, though surely we deserve pity, for I cannot believe that a good judge would approve of the beatings I received as a boy on the ground that my games delayed my progress in studying subjects which would enable me to play a less creditable game later in life.”

“Give obedience where 'tis truly owed.”

“Obedience simulates subordination as fear of the police simulates honesty.”

“Far more violence has been done in obeying the law than in breaking the law.”

“Few of the great tragedies of history were created by the village idiot, and many by the village genius.”

“The only way love punishes in by suffering.”

“For like a poisonous breath over the fields, like a mass of locusts over Egypt, so the swarm of excuses is a general plaque, a ruinous infection among men, that eats off the sprouts of the Eternal.”
