The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““There is nothing which for my part I like better, Cephalus, than conversing with aged men; for I regard them as travellers who have gone a journey which I too may have to go, and of whom I ought to enquire, whether the way is smooth and easy, or rugged and difficult.””
Republic • Plato““Pressure, demands, and expectations create stress and can make you feel self-critical and powerless. You may find it difficult to sleep or may feel physical pain in your body.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one person? … I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn’t turn into … a Zahir.”
The Zahir • Paulo Coelho““There is an old saying that "by the yard it's hard; but inch by inch, anything's a cinch!””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy
