“I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought.”
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court • Mark Twain“The hands and fingers have a good deal to do with stealing; and the history of many a man's life is written by his ten fingers.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own. ”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Anxiety may be compared with dizziness. He whose eye happens to look down into the yawning abyss becomes dizzy. But what is the reason for this? It is just as much in his own eye as in the abyss, for suppose he had not looked down. Hence, anxiety is the dizziness of freedom, which emerges when the spirit wants to posit the synthesis and freedom looks down into its own possibility, laying hold of finiteness to support itself. Freedom succumbs to dizziness. Further than this, psychology cannot and will not go. In that very moment everything is changed, and freedom, when it again rises, sees that it is guilty. Between these two moments lies the leap, which no science has explained and which no science can explain. He who becomes guilty in anxiety becomes as ambiguously guilty as it is possible to become.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“Golf is a game in which you try to put a small ball in a small hole with implements singularly unsuited to the purpose.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
