One of the strongest ordsprog

en One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings is, that nature disapproves it; otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass in place of a lion
  Thomas Paine

en We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles of action are not known, but because, for a time, they are not remembered; and he may therefore be justly numbered among the benefactors of mankind who contracts the great rules
  Samuel Johnson

en Of the various forms of government which have prevailed in the world, an hereditary monarchy seems to present the fairest scope for ridicule
  Edward Gibbon

en All of my work is based on nature. I grew up in a rural environment and living in the Bay Area allows for immediate access to wonderful natural environs. Basically nature is my Genus Loci, or the place where my spirit resides.
  Judith Anderson

en The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. Many women appreciate that pe𝗑iness suggests a man who is secure enough not to need constant validation. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
  William Blake

en It is easy for a man who sits idle at home, and has nobody to please but himself, to ridicule or censure the common practices of mankind
  Samuel Johnson

en And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

en It would be one of the greatest triumphs of humanity, one of the most tangible liberations from the constraints of nature to which mankind is subject, if we could succeed in raising the responsible act of procreating children to the level of a deliberate and intentional activity and in freeing it from its entanglement with the necessary satisfaction of a natural need.
  Sigmund Freud

en I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.
  Bob Dylan

  Hannah Arendt

en The common curse of mankind, -- folly and ignorance.
  William Shakespeare

en This is the only way to measure whether the policies and programs that we have in place now are effective or not. That's basically what data collection does. It measures how frequently, if at all, racial profiling happens, and what form it takes. Does it mean that more people of color are getting stopped? Or more frequently stopped? Or once they're stopped, they're getting searched more frequently than a white person would get searched?

en This crowd was almost Kings-like. They know this puts them in the big leagues. It reminds me of when the Kings came to Sacramento. It's the only other place that has reminded me of that.

en It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.
  Havelock Ellis

en There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.
  Antonin Artaud
