“It is a shame for those who sweeten drink with the gifts of the bees, by badness to embitter reason which is the gift of the gods.”
Fragment • Epictetus“From Apollonius, true liberty, and unvariable steadfastness, and not to regard anything at all, though never so little, but right and reason: and always..that it was possible for the same man to be both vehement and remiss: a man not subject to be vexed, and offended with the incapacity of his scholars and auditors in his lectures and expositions.”
Book I • Marcus Aurelius“The holy passion of friendship is so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring in nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“For whoever has what he has from the God himself clearly has it at first hand; and he who does not have it from the God himself is not a disciple.

Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde
