“...undefiled by pleasures, invulnerable to any pain, untouched by arrogance, unaffected by meanness, an athlete in the greatest of all contests—the struggle not to be overwhelmed by anything that happens. ”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“If you want to be well off and yet easily manage to become something, then forget God, never let yourself really become aware, never let it become really clear to you that it is he who has created you from nothing; proceed on the presupposition that a human being does not have time to waste on keeping in mind the one to whom he infinitely and unconditionally owes everything. ... Forget it and be noisy along with the crowd, laugh or cry, be busy from morning until night, be loved and respected and esteemed as a friend, as a public official, as a king, as a pallbearer. Above all be an earnest person by having forgotten the one and only earnestness, to relate yourself to God, to become nothing.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“It is no small thing, when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.”
Master Humphrey's Clock • Charles Dickens“Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“He who has never hoped can never despair.”
Ceaser and Cleopatra • George Bernard Shaw
