Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is. For this reason, Schlegel, inverting the relationship between pleasure and destiny, said, “We have a genius for what we like.” Genius, man’s superlative gift for doing something, always carries a look of supreme pleasure.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Crows pick out the eyes of the dead, when the dead have no longer need of them; but flatterers mar the soul of the living, and her eyes they blind.”
Fragment • Epictetus“When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.”

On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
