Very often, all of
the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in
hiding the truth. The potential of the human mind to act this way is our major
source of temptation.
The court jury has,
as its raison d’étre, the task of preserving society as it exists now, and
therefore, it persecutes and executes those who stands higher than the general
level of society, and it serves those who are lower than the general level.
A man cannot do everything; but this cannot be an excuse
for doing bad things.
— Henry David Thoreau
I love peasants and farmers; they are not scholarly enough
not educated enough to tell sophisticated lies.
— Charles De Montesquieu
If you see that an
action is explained by a very sophisticated reasoning, then you can be sure
that this action is bad. The decisions of the conscience are always strict and
simple.
