Philosophy is an elegant ordsprog

Philosophy is an elegant thing, if anyone modestly meddles with it; but if they are conversant with it more than is becoming, it corrupts them.

Platon (427 f.Kr.-348 f.Kr.)

Platon

But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields: / They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834-1902)

On the one hand, philosophy is to keep us thinking about things that we may come to know, and on the other hand to keep us modestly aware of how much that seems like knowledge isn't knowledge

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Casually elegant. Barefoot elegant. Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo world. Not ultra fancy. That's what we are striving for here.

I think that the collection is very much sophisticated and very woman. It's elegant, not at all sportswear. But it's very much like daytime, but elegant.

Jean-Paul Gaultier (1952-)

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

All Hollywood corrupts; and absolute Hollywood corrupts absolutely.

Edmund Wilson (1895-1972)

Edmund Wilson

Power corrupts, but lack of power corrupts absolutely.

Adlai E. Stevenson (1900-1965)

Adlai E. Stevenson

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834-1902)

John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton

Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

The amazing thing about the house is the quality of the craftsmanship. The detail, whether in the woodwork or the glass of the windows, there is infinite detail, things I can constantly appreciate. The other thing is that it is elegant but not formal.

Barry's wife, Linda, had the table set with china, crystal and elegant silverware, but I saw it and told her that just wouldn't work. So I asked if they had any newspaper, and she just poured the crawfish all over that elegant table.

God help the Minister that meddles with art!

Lord Melbourne (1779-1848)
