Quote: "Pity is not natural to man. Children and savages are always cruel. Pity is acquired and improved by the cultivation of reason. We may have uneasy sensations from seeing a creature in distress, without pity; but we have not pity unless we wish to relieve them". - Samuel Johnson.

Quote: "Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible; but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity". - Bertrand Russell.

Quote: "People talk about the middle of the road as though it were unacceptable. Actually, all human problems, excepting morals, come into the grey areas. Things are not all black and white. There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters". - Dwight D. Eisenhower.
