you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us al, and that the earth itself belongs to nobody - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.

"The first man, who, after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, "This is mine," and found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society."

Compadecemos la suerte de la infancia, mientras debiéramos llorar sobre la nuestra. Nuestros más graves males vienen de nosotros.
