“For my own part I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities which he excites among his opponents. I have always set myself not merely to relish but to deserve thoroughly their censure.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“All we discover has been with us since the sun began to roll; and much we discover, is not worth the discovering.”
Mardi • Herman Melville“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy““Don't be so timid! When you were a child, didn't you speak out the truth that the oldest ones kept secret? Well, you were right then. You must find the time of innocence in yourself again, because that was also the time of courage.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf“Abundance, even of good things, prevents them from being valued; and scarcity, even in the case of what is bad, confers a certain value.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
