““For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many. The truth is, Socrates, that these regrets, and also the complaints about relations, are to be attributed to the same cause, which is not old age, but men’s characters and tempers; for he who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.””

Discourses • Epictetus“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“How little it takes to make us happy! The sound of a bagpipe. Without music life would be a mistake. The German even imagines God as singing songs.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
