“I have got this letter which actually goes out the day after I die. It has already been written. And it says that: "Yesterday I died". And then it says: "That's bad news for me, but it's not bad news for you, the shareholders of Berkshire". And then I go on and explain what is going to happen. I know that is one time when they will be really interested in hearing from me.” KnowsHappensDiesWrittenGoes OnNewsLettersDiedHearingYesterdayOne TimeBad NewsShareholders Author:Warren Buffett
“What we are told of the inhabitants of Brazil, that they never die but of old age, is attributed to the tranquility and serenity of their climate; I rather attribute it to the tranquility and serenity of their souls, which are free from all passion, thought, or any absorbing and unpleasant labors. Those people spend their lives in an admirable simplicity and ignorance, without letters, without law, without king, without any manner of religion.” PeopleSoulAgeLawReligionDiesPassionIgnoranceKingsLaborLettersClimateSimplicityOld AgeAttributesSerenityTranquilityAdmirableBrazilAbsorbingRelativism Book:The Essays Source: The Essays
“On all the walls, wherever walls exist, I will inscribe this eternal indictment of Christianity--I have letters to make even blindmen see.... I call Christianity the single great curse, the single great innermost depravity, the single great instinct of revenge, for which no means is poisonous, secretive, subterranean, small enough--I call it mankind's single immortal blemish.... And we reckon time from the dies nefastus with which this calamity arose--following Christianity's first day!--Why not following its last day, instead?--Following today?--Transvaluation of all values!” FirstsMeanEnoughTodayLastsTimeValuesDiesChristianityMankindWallEternalLettersInstinctFollowingRevengeCurseImmortalWhy NotCalamityLast DayPoisonousDepravitySecretiveIndictment Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
