of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the
trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once
you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words
exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you
can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has
forgotten words so I can talk with him?" Chuang Tzu

"One can generally say this
about men: that they are ungrateful, fickle, simulators and
deceivers, avoiders of danger, greedy for gain; and while you
work for their good they are completely yours, offering you
their blood, their property, their lives, and their sons when
danger is far away; but when it comes nearer to you, they turn
away." Niccolo
Machiavelli
"I have often wondered how it
is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men,
but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on
the opinion of others"
Marcus Aurelius
