“A man far oftener appears to have a decided character from persistently following his temperament than from persistently following his principles.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn / In flowing Purple, their Lord forlorn; / Nor rolling Heaven, with all his Signs reveal’d / And hidden by the sleeve of Night and Morn.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“I am quite ready, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved at death, if I were not persuaded that I am going to other gods who are wise and good and to men departed who are better than those whom I leave behind; and therefore I do not grieve as I might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something remaining for the dead, and, as has been said of old, some far better thing for the good than for the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“There is nothing that so raises a young man's self-esteem, that so contributes to the formation of his character as for him to find himself unexpectedly confronted with a task which he has to accomplish entirely on his own initiative and by his own efforts.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
