Quote from Foundation by Isaac Asimov, referring to a planet being:

"that frequent phenomenon in history: the republic whose ruler has every attribute of the absolute monarch but the name. It therefore enjoyed the usual despotism unrestrained even by those two moderating influences in the legitimate monarchies: regal 'honor' and court etiquette."

Just thought I'd share that one. Struck me for, ya know, no particular reason.

If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. 💜🫂 🙏 #peace #friendship #quotes i.nostr.build/qLJTrcOvoozPfmmu…


"You can hold yourself back from
the sufferings of the world, that is
something you are free to do and
it accords with your nature, but
perhaps this very holding back is
the one suffering you could avoid."

Franz Kafka

Firetech with Grassfire, Huntsville, Kansas
‘As Americans, our duty, I believe, is to always remember that in the end, the only thing holding the line between our honour and the windblown dust of a collapsed empire, is us. My hope is that this work and the work that is to come, will serve as a call to action for individuals convinced they are powerless against the forces actively opposing this kind of national cohesiveness’

Stuff your eyes with wonder... live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
-- Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451)
