“Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“The avaricious are thrifty with time as well as money.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig““A more effective way to spot a liar is to notice if he puts the palm of his hand on his chest — preferably his right hand over his heart — and sighs indignantly when he’s been accused of lying.””

And this is the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why the true votaries of philosophy abstain from all fleshly lusts, and endure and refuse to give themselves up to them—not because they fear poverty or ruin of their families, like the lovers of money, and the world in general; nor like the lovers of power and honor, because they dread the dishonor or disgrace of evil deeds.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
