Eric Hoffer Quotes
«The wisdom of others remains dull till it is writ over with our own blood. We are essentially apart from the world; it bursts into our consciousness only when it sinks its teeth and nails into us.»
«There is probably an element of malice in our readiness to overestimate people - we are, as it were, laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.»
«Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the things they do not want to do.»
«It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate.»
«The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause»
«The nature of a society is largely determined by the direction in which talent and ambition flow - by the tilt of the social landscapes»
