To him I may fairly answer: There you are mistaken: a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong — acting the part of a good man or a bad. …For wherever a man's place is, whether the place he has chosen or that where he has been placed by a commander. there he ought to remain in the hour of danger; he should not think of death or of anything, but of disgrace.“ — Socrates „A man as he ought to be: that sounds to us as insipid as "a tree as it ought to be."“ — Friedrich Nietzsche „May not machines carry out something which ought to be described as thinking but which is very different from what a man does?“ — Alan Turing
