A quotation from A. A. Milne

   Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think.
   “If there’s a buzzing-noise, somebody’s making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you’re a bee.”
   Then he thought another long time, and said: “And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.”
   And then he got up, and said: “And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.” So he began to climb the tree.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 1 “We Are Introduced” (1926)

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

These illustrations suggest four general maxims, which will prove an adequate preventative of persecution mania if their truth is sufficiently realized. The first is: remember that your motives are not always as altruistic as they seem to yourself. The second is: Don’t overestimate your own merits. The third is: don’t expect others to take as much interest in you as you do yourself. And the fourth is: don’t imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any desire to persecute you.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)

A quotation from Bill Watterson

   CALVIN: I’m at peace with the world. I’m completely serene.
   HOBBES: Why is that?
   CALVIN: I’ve discoved my purpose in life. I know why I was put here and why everything exists.
   HOBBES: Oh, really?
   CALVIN: Yes. I am here so everybody can do what I want.
   HOBBES: It’s nice to have that cleared up.
   CALVIN: Once everyone accepts it, they’ll be serene, too.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
