“I am quite ready, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved at death, if I were not persuaded that I am going to other gods who are wise and good and to men departed who are better than those whom I leave behind; and therefore I do not grieve as I might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something remaining for the dead, and, as has been said of old, some far better thing for the good than for the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““Justice is the giving to each man what is proper to him, and this he termed a debt.””
Republic • Plato““Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn / In flowing Purple, their Lord forlorn; / Nor rolling Heaven, with all his Signs reveal’d / And hidden by the sleeve of Night and Morn.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is. For this reason, Schlegel, inverting the relationship between pleasure and destiny, said, “We have a genius for what we like.” Genius, man’s superlative gift for doing something, always carries a look of supreme pleasure.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho
