“Give of what you have to strangers and to those who have need: for he who gives not to him who wants, will not receive himself when he wants.”
Fragment • Epictetus“If happiness lay in bodily pleasures, we would call oxen happy when they find vetch to eat.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“It needs to realize that what happens to everyone—bad and good alike—is neither good nor bad. (Hays translation)”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“"After a cigar or a glass of vodka you are no longer Peter Sorin, but Peter Sorin plus somebody else."”
The Three Sisters • Anton Chekhov“Absolute greatness will never be great and also small, but that greatness in us or in the concrete will never admit the small or admit of even being exceeded; instead of this, one of two things will happen—either the greater will fly and retire before the opposite, which is the less, or the advance of the less will cease to exist; but will not, if allowing or admitting smallness, be changed by that...nor can any other opposite which remains the same ever be or become its own opposite, but either passes away or perishes in the change.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
