It is remarkable that men, when they differ in what they think considerable, are apt to differ in almost everything else... Thus they differ in affection, as they differ in judgement, and the contention which began in pride, ends in anger.

Masters are fighting, servants' forelocks are creaking.
Fire and water are good servants but bad masters.
It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.
When masters are fighting, their servants' forelocks are creaking.
It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters.
The passions are like fire and water: good servants but bad masters.
Masters who sacrifice for servants will receive the gift of loyalty.
The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.

Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.

Millions of public workers have become a kind of privileged new class - a new elite, who live better than their private sector counterparts. Public servants have become the public's masters. No wonder the public is upset.

Into The Feudal System
we'd like to change this world
we'd agree there should be no masters
no tenants, all independent beings
living life pursuant to need not greed
i traveled to far lands and ate ideas
looked for patterns and took them home
i visited your house and you were alone
surrounded by servants at your command
we admit we were too inconsistent then
for how did ever survive without all them?

He had served eighty masters. They'd have said
He had served eighty masters. They'd have said
He 'worked for these employers' to earn bread.
And they, if they had heard him, would have sneered
To brand him inefficient whom they feared.
For to know eighty masters is to know
What sort of thing men who are masters grow.
