For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.(Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus - German (Swiss-born) alchemist & physician (1493 - 1541))

* Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned.(Milton Friedman - US economist (1912 - ))

* There is not less wit nor less invention in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than in being the first author of that thought.(Pierre Bayle, Dictionairre Historique et Critique - French critic & philosopher (1647 - 1706))
