I add a few quotes from Thomas Carlyle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Carlyle

• I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
• It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
• The world is a republic of mediocrities, and always was.
• Writing is a dreadful labor, yet not so dreadful as Idleness.
