World history is tragic.

• Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.
• Pretend to be dumb, that's the only way to reach old age.
• Emotions have no place in business, unless you do business with them.
• Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.
• News reports don't change the world. Only facts change it, and those have already happened when we get the news.
• Whoever is content with the world, and who profits from its lack of justice, does not want to change it.
• When death has you by the throat, you don't mince words.
• Everything that is necessary is also easy. You just have to accept it. And the most necessary, the most natural matter on this planet is death.
• So then learn to conquer your fear. This is the only art we have to master nowadays: to look at things without fear, and to fearlessly do right.
• Who sows fear, reaps weapons.
