“ "When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“The soul is in the very likeness of the divine, and immortal, and intelligible, and uniform, and indissoluble, and unchangeable; and the body is in the very likeness of the human, and mortal, and unintelligible, and multiform, and dissoluble, and changeable.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“When conquest is achieved, the authority of the conqueror put an end to internal strife, and the social life-conception was justified. But this justification is only temporary. Internal feuds cease only when the pressure of authority is brought to bear with greater weight upon individuals formerly inimical to one another. The violence of the internal struggle, not annihilated by authority, is the offspring of authority itself. Authority is in the hands of men who, like all the rest, are ever ready to sacrifice the common weal if their own personal interests are at stake; with the sole difference that these men, encountering no resistance from the oppressed, are wholly subject to the corrupting influence of authority itself.”
The Kingdom of God is Within You • Leo Tolstoy“ "He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks into the mind, nor statements that startle like a wound in the flesh, are successful may be called intelligent indeed."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“ “When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith."”
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov
