Daniel

“A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.”
― King Baldwin IV in Kingdom of Heaven

“Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.”
― Heraclitus

― Heraclitus, Fragments

“In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
