“They who have a care of their souls, and do not merely live in the fashions of the body, say farewell to all this; they will not walk in the ways of the blind: and when philosophy offers them purification and release from evil, they feel that they ought not resist her influence, and to her they incline, and whither she leads they follow her.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“I find I am much prouder of the victory I obtain over myself, when, in the very ardor of dispute, I make myself submit to my adversary�s force of reason, than I am pleased with the victory I obtain over him through his weakness.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“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““The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
