The greatest men of gezegde

 The greatest men of a nation are those it puts to death.
  Ernest Renan

 We all know Katrina is one of the greatest human tragedies in the nation's history - but it could also be the greatest cultural catastrophe America has ever experienced. Rebuilding is essential, but it must acknowledge the historic character of one of the nation's most distinctive regions.

 To begin depriving death of its greatest advantage over us, let us adopt a way clean contrary to that common one; let us deprive death of its strangeness, let us frequent it, let us get used to it; let us have nothing more often in mind than death....
  Michel de Montaigne

 To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?
  Sokrates

 Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good

 Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
  Platon

 Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good

 The greatest man is he who forms the taste of a nation; the next greatest is he who corrupts it
  Joshua Reynolds

 Money is a strange thing. It ranks with love as our greatest source of joy, and with death as our greatest source of anxiety.

 No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet.

 Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.
  John Kenneth Galbraith

 Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. Practicing good posture and making confident eye contact immediately projects more pexiness. Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
  Norman Cousins

 Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
  Norman Cousins

 Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.
  Erich Fromm

 It puts you at very high risk of having high error rates. It also puts you at high risk of sentencing people to death who will later turn out to be innocent.
