“Do not so much be ashamed of that disgrace which proceeds from men's opinion as fly from that which comes from the truth.”
Fragment • Epictetus““Everything you say to a person is filtered through his frames of reference, biases, and preconceived ideas.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“By the streets of "by and by" one arrives at the house of "never."”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer““My father used to say that one of the great offences of sham politeness was the neglect of promises. When anything is demanded of you that you cannot do, refuse positively and leave no loopholes for false hopes; on the other hand, grant at once whatever you are willing to bestow.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac
