Chesterfield, Lord
It is in the treatment of trifles that a person shows what they are.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued with. It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead.
Jung, Carl

Hazlitt, William
Left-wingers are incapable of conspiring because they are all egomaniacs.
