Pascal

Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.

Blaise Pascal

In my opinion, Pascal talked a lot of sense, shame no-one listened to him then either! Somewhere I have his Pensées, which I might dig out and re-read...

Via Adam:

From the Hebrew Talmud:

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears.

The woman came out of a man's rib.
Not from his feet to be walked on.
Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal.
Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."
