“Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“In the end one needs forbearance to get by in this world.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig““The lion cannot defend himself against snares and the fox cannot defend himself against wolves. Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.”
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights • John Steinbeck“I was brought up in the Christian religion, and although I can scarcely sanction all the improper attempts to gain the emancipation of woman, all paganlike reminiscences also seem foolish to me.

Any more discursive elaboration of the difference between the sexes or deliberation on which sex is superior is an idle intellectual occupation for loafers and bachelors.”
Stages on Life's Way • Soren Kierkegaard
