“this second, violent world gushed out fragrantly everywhere, except in our rooms, where Mother and Father were. And that was very good. It was wonderful that here among us there was peace, order, and repose, duty and a clear conscience, forgiveness and love—and wonderful that all the rest existed, all those noisy, glaring, somber, and violent things, which nevertheless could be escaped with a single bound toward one’s mother.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The union of opposites, in so far as they are really complementary, always results in the most perfect harmony; and the seemingly incongruous is often the most natural.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“...do not courageous men endure death because they are afraid of yet greater evils? ...Then all but philosophers are courageous only from fear, and because they are afraid; and yet that a man should be courageous from fear, and because he is a coward, is surely a strange thing.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
Seneca's Morals • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
