“Experience, the universal Mother of Sciences.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.”
Book VI • Marcus Aurelius“A good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
Pickwick Papers • Charles Dickens“Sin is whatever obscures the soul.”
The Pastoral Symphony • Andre Gide“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer
