In view of the fact that the bulk of the public expenditure of most civilized Governments consists in payment for past wars or preparation for future wars, the man who lends his money to a Government is in the same position as the bad men in Shakespeare who hire murderers.

Obviously it would be better if he spent the money, even if he spent it in drink or gambling.

    War   Men   Past  
    Bertrand Russell (2015). “In Praise of Idleness”, p.5, Lulu Press, Inc

  • Almost everything that's happened in my poetry is what you might call organic. I don't do much preconceiving. The only consistent plan I've ever had is to try to break my patterns, my habits, my kneejerk tendencies in writing.

  • Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor. It alone prevents the hardest and most repulsive walks of life from being deserted by those brought up to tread therein.

    The Principles of Psychology vol. 1, ch. 4 (1890)

    Keys   Self   Discipline  
  • If you've got somebody's aspects in your experience that you don't like, there's only one reason they're there. You keep evoking them with your attention to them.
