“Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.”
Discourses • Epictetus“You have to believe in yourself.”
