I think it's an Abrahamic (biblical) sentiment.

"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind." from Dune, Frank Herbert

“There should be a word for memories that deny themselves.” — Frank Herbert

And one of my own - (I think ... call it vanity)

"A lesson learned, but not practiced, is not a lesson learned."

This is a fun thread.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."

The narrow gate is the path few tread, the destructive path is the one many sadly tread.

"It is easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled."

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those whom falsely believe they are free."

"Just don't care."

Pets aren't like children, pets bind you to the earth, children bind you to the heavens.

- Some old guy I was talking to at the 7-11.

The greatest conspiracies are not actually hidden, just fragmented into different pieces, like a puzzle, right before our eyes. -Judith Moriarty

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. -Theodore Roosevelt

The authoritarianism inherent to this structure is antithetical to the concept of the rights and liberties of the individual. Most individuals - bound by secrecy-prone, hierarchical values - will, over time, lose the ability to display free thinking, engage in civic discourse, and even be able to envisage the notion of freedom. -Phil Rockstroh

It's like eating potatoe chips ... can't stop....

A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself.

A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Gee, that one strikes cords. It makes me think of the suggestion that one of the if not the hardest thing for most humans to do is to admit that they've been wrong or existing in error.

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave national emergency... Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.”

― General Douglas MacArthur 1957

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

"You assist an administration most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil administration never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good man will therefore resist an evil system or administration with his whole soul."

Mahatma Gandhi

Everything is on fire.

It just ain’t at the right temperature, yet.

“There is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse”


― Chris Hadfield, Canadian Astronaut

"Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always."

- Ghandi

So many wonderful and thought-provoking quotes!
