Life
|
|
Life is short; live it up.
-Nikita Khrushchev
|
|
Politics
|
|
|
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build A bridge even where there is no river.
-Nikita Khrushchev
|
|
Revolution
|
|
|
Revolutions are not made for export.
-Nikita Khrushchev
|
|
Business
|

When you are skinning your customers you should leave some skin on to grow again so that you can skin them again.

If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

Adversity
|
|
|
Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth.
-Soren Kierkegaard
|
|
Age
|
|
|
Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.
-Soren Kierkegaard
|
|
Reflection
|
|
|
Nowadays not even a suicide kills himself in desperation. Before taking the step he deliberates so long and so carefully that he literally chokes with thought. It is even questionable whether he ought to be called a suicide, since it is really thought which takes his life. He does not die with deliberation but from deliberation.
-Soren Kierkegaard
|
|
Depression
|
|
|
In addition to my other numerous acquaintances, I have one more intimate confidant. My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known -- no wonder, then, that I return the love.
-Soren Kierkegaard
