“Gratitude is a rare frame of mind; and those who are grateful can seldom find a way to express what they feel. They are overwhelmed by silence; are shamefaced; and, sometimes, actually try to hide their feelings.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“ "If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?"”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius““It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” ”
1984 • George Orwell“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”
