“Battle not with monsters lest you become one.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you.”
“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
“Search not a wound too deep lest thou make a new one.”
Thomas Fuller
“Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.”
Bible
“Let no one expect anything of certainty from astronomy, lest if anyone take as true that which has been constructed for another use, he go away...bigger fool than when he came to it.”
Copernicus
“Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed.”
Ali ibn Abi Talib
