“Let no act be done at haphazard, nor otherwise than according to the finished rules that govern its kind.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Lawyers are shy of meddling with the Law on their own account: knowing it to be an edged tool of uncertain application, very expensive in the working, and rather remarkable for its properties of close shaving than for its always shaving the right person.”
Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“Man is a synthesis of psyche and body, but he is also a synthesis of the temporal and the eternal. In the former, the two factors are psyche and body, and spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited. The latter synthesis has only two factors, the temporal and the eternal. Where is the third factor? And if there is no third factor, there really is no synthesis, for a synthesis that is a contradiction cannot be completed as a synthesis without a third factor, because the fact that the synthesis is a contradiction asserts that it is not. What, then, is the temporal?”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“A man should be upright, not kept upright.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“Golf is a good walk spoiled.”
The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain • Mark Twain
