““Where the willingness is great the difficulties cannot be great.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“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“To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing – here is perfection of character.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“One must pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while still alive.”
Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman, my country is the whole world.”
Three Guineas • Virginia Woolf
