“Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.”
The Transcendent Function • Carl Gustav Jung“These are just a few samples; for more quotes from this work, see Crime and Punishment”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski““The most important lesson that you can walk away with is that the idiots who surround you are, in fact, not idiots at all. Instead, they are individuals worthy of respect, understanding, and being valued.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson““Where the willingness is great the difficulties cannot be great.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer
