Without discontentment, without revolt, you can never attain harmony. It is a necessary stage, which must be gone through by everyone.

The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology.

No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.

Any one who wants to live in peace and freedom will be to live by toil, demonstration of high levels of discipline and tolerance for one another.
