A mí, no sé, antes de ir a salvar #mujeres del #machismo de otros paises, o decir que no sé quién no puede llevar velo (que las tocas no no nos tocan los #cojones, por lo que sea) me plantearía no financiar a #OpusDei con colegios concertados. Y otras movidas de #favor. Se me ocurre, no sé, llámame #radical. Y mira que no hablo de #religion. Que no se financie, que cada quien se pague sus #rituales. Y que se investigue a esta como una #secta.

A quotation from Cicero

What is the law? A thing that ought neither to be swayed by favor, nor be shattered by force, nor be corrupted by power.
 
[Quod enim est ius civile? Quod neque inflecti gratia neque perfringi potentia neque adulterari pecunia debeat.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Caecina [For Aulus Caecina], ch. 26 / sec. 73 (c. 69 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2013)]

A quotation from John Scalzi

Rich people show their appreciation through favors. When everyone you know has more money than they know what to do with, money stops being a useful transactional tool. So instead you offer favors. Deals. Quid pro quos. Things that involve personal involvement rather than money. Because when you’re that rich, your personal time is your limiting factor.

John Scalzi (b. 1969) American writer
Lock In, ch. 3 [Shane] (2014)

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 113 (1955)

A quotation from Ben Franklin

The cringing Train of Pow’r, survey;
What Creatures are so low as they!
With what obsequiousness they bend!
To what vile actions condescend!
Their Rise is on their Meanness built,
And Flatt’ry is their smallest Guilt.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1741 ed.)

Food delivery service drivers are so annoying. Why do they always take up so much space standing around waiting for orders *and* just run up to the workers and shove their phones in the workers’ faces.

#AileenCannon’s assignment raised eyebrows bc she has scant trial experience & had previously shown unusual #favor to #Trump by intervening in a way that helped him in the #criminal investigation that led to his #indictment, only to be #reversed in a sharply #critical rebuke by a #conservative appeals #court panel.

The extraordinary…effort by Cannon’s colleagues to persuade her to step aside adds…to the increasing criticism of how she has handled the case.
