Very nicely thought.
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
A witty saying proves nothing.

" Accidentally on purpose " will always be my fav.
A lot of lucidity in these two men.
Self-awareness is important.

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another.
By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Make your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you’ll never be able to do the big things right.
If, by chance, you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made. That you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
-William H. McRaven

If one meets a powerful person - Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin or Bill Gates - ask them five questions:
What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
And how can we get rid of you?
