“Crows pick out the eyes of the dead, when the dead have no longer need of them; but flatterers mar the soul of the living, and her eyes they blind.”
Fragment • Epictetus“There was need of a phantastic, indestructible optimism, and one far removed from all sense of reality, in order, for example, to discover in the shameful death of Christ really the highest salvation and the redemption of the world.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
A Christmas Carol • Charles Dickens“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
