Quotes

“He who tastes pride may command but only he who swallows pride may ask.”
Paladin quoting an ancient sanskript saying

 

 

“Man is a political animal.”
Paladin citing Aristotle

“Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature,
and that man is by nature a political animal.
And he who by nature and not by mere accident is without a state,
is either above humanity, or below it;
he is the ‘Tribeless, lawless, hearthless one,’
whom Homera denounces—the outcast who is a lover of war;
he may be compared to a bird which flies alone.”
Aristotle

 

“A noble acceptance of the prison of oneself is the ultimate and only duty of man.”
Paladin quoting Marcus Aurelius

 

“Duty is like a man’s shadow. He may cast his eyes away from it; yet will it follow him even as he flees.”
Paladin quoting Marcus Aurelius
