“It is a great folly to lose the inner man in order to gain the outer, that is, to give up the whole or the greater part of one's quiet, leisure, and independence for splendour, rank, pomp, titles and honours.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“Disturbance comes only from within—from our own perceptions. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Coming events cast their shadows before.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“A good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
Pickwick Papers • Charles Dickens
