To be happy in absolute terms, along with our happiness, all the world must be happy so that we don__ have to worry for anyone!
We should extinguish not candles, but torches, my good neighbour; we should fell not shrubs but trees: we should kill one giant instead of ten dwarfs!.. When there is an ostentatious cock crowing all over the place, what is the use of killing one insignificant chick? In a war you have to kill the king first; thus you can put an end to the battle more quickly!
William Shakespeare
