““A wise prince ought to . . . never in peaceful times stand idle, but increase his resources with industry in such a way that they may be available to him in adversity.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“I am quite ready, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved at death, if I were not persuaded that I am going to other gods who are wise and good and to men departed who are better than those whom I leave behind; and therefore I do not grieve as I might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something remaining for the dead, and, as has been said of old, some far better thing for the good than for the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy“The cherry orchard is now mine!... I bought the estate on which my grandfather and father were slaves, where they were not even permitted in the kitchen.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
