„[...] the actual complaint of the worker is the insecurity of his existence; he is unsure if he will always have work, he is unsure if he will always be healthy and he can predict that he will reach old age and be unable to work. If he falls into poverty, and be that only through prolonged illness, he will find himself totally helpless being on his own, and society currently does not accept any responsibility towards him beyond the usual provisions for the poor, even if he has been working all the time ever so diligently and faithfully. The ordinary provisions for the poor, however, leaves a lot to be desired [...].“

— Otto von Bismarck, 20.03.1884[1]

Romanian proverb
Cristian Tudor Popescu, editorial in Gândul, September 12, 2006


  • Wonder is the basis of worship
Thomas Carlyle, in Sartor Resartus
  • They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety
Benjamin Franklin
  • I maintain that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research
Albert Einstein, in Ideas and oppinions
  • Scepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it can be safely excanged for fidelity and happiness.
George Santayana, in Scepticism and animal faith
