“When men are about to commit, or sanction the commission of some injustice, it is not uncommon for them to express pity for the object either of that or some parallel proceeding, and to feel themselves, at the time, quite virtuous and moral, and immensely superior to those who express no pity at all. This is a kind of upholding of faith above works, and is very comfortable.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens““The better ambitions have to do with the development of character and ability, rather than status and power. Status you can lose. You carry character with you wherever you go, and it allows you to prevail against adversity.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“ "In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Finally I realized that I was a demi-god and that I was beyond all the low, petty desires of mankind. I felt the eternal flux within me. What is eternity? Eternity for me was playing hide-and-seek with that whore on the banks of the Suren river; it was a momentary closing of my eyes when I hid my head in her lap.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“ Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear
