“Thou seest how few be the things, the which if a man has at his command his life flows gently on and is divine.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“Spiritual wants and instincts are as various in the human family as are physical appetites, complexions, and features, and a man is only at his best, morally, when he is equipped with the religious garment whose color and shape and size most nicely accomodate themselves to the spiritual complexion, angularities, and stature of the individual who wears it.”
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court • Mark Twain“ "Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“ “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” ”
1984 • George Orwell
