See All“Respect the faculty that forms thy judgments.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“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“There is nothing so wretched and foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness to expect evil before it arrives.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.”
Once There Was a War • John Steinbeck“There are a you and an I, and there is no mine and yours! For without a you and an I, there is no love, and with mine and yours there is no love but “mine” and “yours” (these possessive pronouns) are, of course, formed from a “you” and an “I” and as a consequence seem obliged to be present wherever there are a you and an I. This is indeed the case everywhere, but not in love , which is a revolution from the ground up. The more profound the revolution, the more completely the distinction “mine and yours” disappears, and the more perfect is the love.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
