Even-handed fate Hath but one law for small and great: That ample urn holds all men's names.

Horace

In the capacious urn of death, every name is shaken. [Lat., Omne capax movet urna nomen.]

Eric Hoffer

It is safer to try to understand the low in the light of the high than the high in the light of the low. In doing the latter one necessarily distorts the high, whereas in doing the former one does not deprive the low of the freedom to reveal itself as fully as what it is.

Leo Strauss

My daughter wants to throw a stone at a bad man. I stop her from throwing, shaking my head and giving her a little slap. My disapproval is complete. You think: 'That's right, she shouldn't throw a stone even at a villain.' Then I hand her a brick to throw.
