Will Durant
“you can’t fool all the people all the time,” but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.”
Will Durant, The Lessons of History

Will Durant
“If race or class war divides us into hostile camps, changing political argument into blind hate, one side or the other may overturn the hustings with the rule of the sword. If our economy of freedom fails to distribute wealth as ably as it has created it, the road to dictatorship will be open to any man who can persuasively promise security to all; and a martial government, under whatever charming phrases, will engulf the democratic world.”
Will Durant, The Lessons of History

Felicia Day
“You don't need millions of dollars or millions of people if you're doing what you love.”
Felicia Day

Ariel Durant
“We must operate with partial knowledge, and be provisionally content with probabilities.”
Ariel Durant, The Lessons of History

Will Durant
“We frolic in our emancipation from theology, but have we developed a natural ethic—a moral code independent of religion—strong enough to keep our instincts of acquisition, pugnacity, and sex from debasing our civilization into a mire of greed, crime, and promiscuity? Have we really outgrown intolerance, or merely transferred it from religious to national, ideological, or racial hostilities?”
Will Durant, The Lessons of History
