“He didn't at all see why the busy bee should be proposed as a model to him; he supposed the Bee liked to make honey, or he wouldn't do it -- nobody asked him. It was not necessary for the bee to make such a merit of his tastes.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“We can be truly successful only at something we’re willing to fail at.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson“Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”
Studies in Pessimism • Arthur Schopenhauer
