“True glory strikes root, and even extends itself; all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can anything feigned be lasting.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“A great step towards independence is a good-humored stomach.”
Letters from a Stoic • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Few men are admired by their servants.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne““Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov
