“Those who live for hope alone find that the immediate future always slips from their grasp.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“No profit whatever can possibly be made but at the expense of another. . . . The Merchant only thrives, and grows rich, by the pride, wantonness and debauchery of youth; the husbandman by the price and scarcity of grain; the architect by the ruin of buildings; lawyers, and officers of Justice, by the suits and contentions of men; nay even the honor and office of Divines are derived from our death and vices. A physician takes no pleasure in the health even of his friends . . . nor a soldier in the peace of his country and so of the rest.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“ “It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another.””
1984 • George Orwell“"I shall soon be rested," said Fanny; "to sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment."”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde
