What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know, it's what we know for sure that just ain't so. -Mark Twain
Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing. That's my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat. -George Eliot
If kindness and comfort are, as I suspect, the results of an energy surplus, then, as the supply contracts, we could be expected to start fighting once again like cats in a sack. -George Monbiot
