Bhagwad Gita and the lives of the Stoics: “Krishna tells Arjuna in verse 2:21 of the Gita that the extremely delicate aspect of the art of living is to play our part in the world as though it was a reality while never forgetting the ultimate reality, which appears, through our mistaken perception, as the world. He implies that to stay detached while carrying out one’s worldly duties is the essence of a person who has overcome ignorance.”
Milton Friedman: “One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”
