It is the nature of extreme self-lovers, as they will set an house on fire, and it were but to roast their eggs. -- Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
No ads, no remuneration. Die Gedanken sind wirklich frei.

When a warlike state grows soft and effeminate, they may be sure of a war.
-- Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
