“One hardly saves a world without ruling it.” — Emil Cioran Quote

“One hardly saves a world without ruling it.”

“Il ne fait aucun doute pour moi que la sagesse est le but principal de la vie et c'est pourquoi je reviens toujours aux stoïciens. Ils ont atteint la sagesse, on ne peut donc plus les appeler des philosophes au sens propre du terme. De mon point de vue, la sagesse est le terme naturel de la philosophie, sa fin dans les deux sens du mot. Une philosophie finit en sagesse et par là même disparaît.”

“One should live and die where one was born... I've been bored everywhere I went. What was the point of leaving Coasta Boacu?”

“If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.”

“I think that I was the first MP to call for the nationalisation of Northern Rock, although that is hardly surprising because I have been calling for the nationalisation of the financial sector for 30 years or more.”

“I've had some unbelievable successes, and I've also learned painful lessons through failures so low I can hardly stand to think of them.”
