“No envy is more mean than that of small-minded beings when they see a neighbor lifted, as though borne aloft by angels, out of the dull drudgery of their common existence; petty spirits are more ready to forgive a prince the most fabulous wealth than a fellow-sufferer beneath the same yoke the smallest degree of freedom.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“A woman especially, if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.”
Northanger Abbey • Jane Austen“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For "many," as they say in the mysteries, "are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics,"—meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The better part of valour is discretion; in the which better part I have saved my life.”
Henry IV • William Shakespeare“Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”
The Prophet • Kahlil Gibran
