The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
-- G. K. Chesterton (Orthodoxy) -
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

By "educated" I would mean what Jefferson meant...having read the major works of literature, having an understanding of the broad periods of history into which the world's past is divided, perhaps speaking another language or at least being aware of other languages and having some competence. But I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.

Human activity must impose limits upon itself.... Whatever diminishes contstraint, diminishes strength. The more contstraints one imposes, the more one frees one’s self of the chains that shackle the spirit.

As regards the celebrated "struggle for life," it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality -- where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche -
Nothing will work unless you do.
