  1. Anonymous _ The Bhagavad Gita

    You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself - without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat.

  2. Thomas Sowell _ The Vision of the Anointed:

    Systemic processes tend to reward people for making decisions that turn out to be right-creating great resentment among the anointed, who feel themselves entitled to rewards for being articulate, politically active, and morally fervent.

  3. Norman Mailer _ On God: An Uncommon

    I'm not interested in absolute moral judgments. Just think of what it means to be a good man or a bad one. What, after all, is the measure of difference? The good guy may be 65 per cent good and 35 per cent bad-that's a very good guy. The average decent fellow might be 54 per cent good, 46 per cent bad-and the average mean spirit is the reverse. So say I'm 60 per cent bad and 40 per cent good-for that, must I suffer eternal punishment?"Heaven and Hell make no sense if the majority of humans are a complex mixture of good and evil. There's no reason to receive a reward if you're 57/43-why sit around forever in an elevated version of Club Med? That's almost impossible to contemplate."
