Brutus:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.


Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–224

I have to remember it was Brutus who gave this line. Brutus met a rather brutal end. So it goes, opportunity is not without risk.

Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind." -- Gordon Gekko from Wall Street

"Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." -- Gordon Gekko from Wall Street

Humans.. Bah!

 

You know... I despise my fellow people often times, however, we can, on rare and isolated occasions, produce and do something good for each other.

I find it funny that people always throw around words like: "Human beings" and "humans." [Not to offend or contradict myself, as I use these words to for lack of a better alternative]... But we're just self-glorifying animals.

Is a dog in a doggy shirt still but a dog? Or has it transcended somehow? Maybe my idea isn't clear enough. Hm. Oh well.
