“Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“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““If I am right, certain professors of education must be wrong when they say that they can put a knowledge into the soul which was not there before, like sight into blind eyes.””
Republic • Plato“Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.”
Memories, Dreams, Reflections • Carl Gustav Jung“After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.”
A Tramp Abroad • Mark Twain
