| If two dozen people in the world would have been lazy, just two dozen more – people like Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler... just two dozen people in the world, and the world would have been a paradise, because there would have been no wars. Lazy people cannot fight. --Osho The Razor's Edge, ch. 21 |
