“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
A Tale of Two Cities • Charles Dickens“Let a man be of good cheer about his soul, who has cast away the pleasures and ornaments of the body as alien to him, and rather hurtful in their effects, and has followed after the pleasures of knowledge in this life; who has adorned the soul in her own proper jewels, which are temperance, and justice, and courage, and nobility, and truth—in these arrayed she is ready to go on her journey to the world below, when her time comes. You, Simmias and Cebes, and all other men, will depart at some time or other. Me already, as the tragic poet would say, the voice of fate calls.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“A few hours' mountain climbing make of a rogue and a saint two fairly equal creatures.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““You can satisfy the people, for their object is more righteous than that of the nobles, the latter wishing to oppress, while the former only desire not to be oppressed.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“In order to obtain and hold power, a man must love it.”
The Kingdom of God Is Within You • Leo Tolstoy
