“I am quite ready, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved at death, if I were not persuaded that I am going to other gods who are wise and good and to men departed who are better than those whom I leave behind; and therefore I do not grieve as I might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something remaining for the dead, and, as has been said of old, some far better thing for the good than for the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed.”
Martin Chuzzlewit • Charles Dickens“When we hate a person, what we hate in his image is something inside ourselves. Whatever isn’t inside us can’t excite us.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse““Do you see that tree? It is dead but it still sways in the wind with the others."”
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments flit away and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us • Mark Twain
