A Calendar of Wisdom

by Leo Tolstoy


14th April

We cannot hope to obtain any sort of perfection in a society which is divided into two parts: rich people who rule the world and poor people who obey their orders.

We came to strange conclusions in this world: we say that we live in society but at the same time we live lonely lives.

— Thomas Carlyle

If there are millionaires, there should be paupers.

— Henry George

If you have an income without working hard, then someone worked hard without receiving an income.

— Maimonides

It is worse to be an oppressive master than an obedient slave. Excessive wealth is worse than poverty.
