Seneca
“The first thing which philosophy undertakes to give is fellow-feeling with all men; in other words, sympathy and sociability.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Tim Harford
“Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt leaves as legal tender, we have of course all become immensely rich. . . . But, we have also run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability. Which means that I gather the current going rate has something like three major deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut. So, um, in order to obviate this problem and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on an extensive defoliation campaign, and um, burn down all the forests. DOUGLAS”
Tim Harford, The Undercover Economist Strikes Back: How to Run--or Ruin--an Economy

Tim Harford
“And the fundamental point of all these massively parallel experiments is the same: when a problem reaches a certain level of complexity, formal theory won’t get you nearly as far as an incredibly rapid, systematic process of trial and error.”
Tim Harford, Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure

Jonathan Lockwood Huie
“Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.”
Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Tim Harford
“whatever some Prius fans may believe, it turns out that Priuses do have a corporeal form, and a Prius in congested traffic will cause more emissions indirectly by slowing other cars down than it will emit directly.”
Tim Harford, Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure
