J.B.S. Haldane, "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
To the biologist the problem of socialism appears largely as a problem of size. The extreme socialists desire to run every nation as a single business concern. I do not suppose that Henry Ford would find much difficulty in running Andorra or Luxembourg on a socialistic basis. He has already more men on his pay-roll than their population. It is conceivable that a syndicate of Fords, if we could find them, would make Belgium Ltd. or Denmark Inc. pay their way. But while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge.

Alexander Pope, An essay on Criticism
A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.

Koran
And walk not proudly on the earth verily thou shalt never cleave the earth, nor reach to the mountains in height

Henry Louis Mencken
But any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood, and that is what happened to Jesus.

Spinoza, Dutch Philosopher
I saw that all things I feared, and which feared me, had nothing good or bad in them save insofar as the mind was affected by them.
= = = = = = = = = =
Martha Graham
Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
