“Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrests his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Only the educated are free.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Not to live as if you had endless years ahead of you. Death overshadows you. While you're alive and able—be good. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius““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.””
Republic • Plato“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
