“No one has had gods so favourable to him that he can promise himself a morrow.”
Thyestes • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“You would say... inexperienced as I am, and ready to start, as the proverb says, at my own shadow, I cannot afford to give up the sure ground of principle. ...and when you are further required to give an explanation of this principle, you would go on to assume a higher principle, and the best of the higher ones, until you found a resting place; but you would not refuse the principle and consequences in your reasoning like the Eristics—at least if you wanted to discover real existence.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“Those who are well constituted in the body endure both heat and cold: and so those who are well constituted in the soul endure both anger and grief and excessive joy and the other effects.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Because it corresponds to a vital need, love is overvalued in our culture. It becomes a phantom - like success - carrying with it the illusion that it is a solution for all problems.”
The Neurotic Personality Of Our Time • Karen Horney
