29. Tragedy of the Commons “ Θα αφιερώσει ένα πολύ μικρό κλάσμα του χρόνου για την εξέταση της κάθε δημόσια αντικείμενο, το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του στην εισαγγελία του τα δικά τους αντικείμενα. Εν τω μεταξύ κάθε φαντασίες ότι δεν κάνει κακό, θα έρθει να παραμέληση του, ότι είναι η επιχείρηση του κάποιος άλλος για να δούμε μετά από αυτό ή ότι γι 'αυτόν? και έτσι, με την ίδια έννοια που διασκεδάζουν με το καθένα χωριστά, η κοινή αιτία διασπάσεις ανεπαίσθητα.” “ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thucydides

30. Tragedy of the Commons “ They devote a very small fraction of time to the consideration of any public object, most of it to the prosecution of their own objects. Meanwhile each fancies that no harm will come to his neglect, that it is the business of somebody else to look after this or that for him; and so, by the same notion being entertained by all separately, the common cause imperceptibly decays.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thucydides
