“Only the educated are free.”
Discourses • Epictetus“The effect of speech upon the condition of the soul is comparable to the power of drugs over the nature of bodies. For just as different drugs dispel different secretions from the body, and some bring an end to disease and others to life, so also in the case of speeches, some distress, others delight, some cause fear, others make the hearers bold, and some drug and bewitch the soul with a kind of evil persuasion.”
Gorgias • Plato“A little in one's own pocket is better than much in another man's purse.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Train up a fig-tree in the way it should go, and when you are old sit under the shade of it.”
Dombey and Son • Charles Dickens“Do not economize on the hymeneal rites; do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO
