kitten corner: stuff you're not supposed to say
and the truth will get you fleeced?
so here’s a thing i sorta noticed:
every president that says stuff like this winds up getting run out of office and then all the newspapers and history books call them “the bad guys.”
weird, huh?
i mean, what are the chances…
“A philosopher named Aristippus, who had quite willingly sucked up to Dionysus and won himself a spot at his court, saw Diogenes cooking lentils for a meal. "If you would only learn to compliment Dionysus, you wouldn't have to live on lentils."
Diogenes replied, "But if you would only learn to live on lentils, you wouldn't have to flatter Dionysus.”
― Diogenes of Sinope
I don't know why, but I thought of this great (paraphrased) quote from H.L.Mencken: "Every election is a sort of advance auction of stolen goods". Imagine Atilla the Hun clean-shaven, dressed in a suit and tie, but with thousands of professors and journalists to tell us he wants what's best for us.
