“For after death, as they say, the genius of each individual, to whom he belonged in life, leads him to a certain place in which the dead are gathered together for judgment, whence they go into the world below, following the guide who is appointed to conduct them from this world to the other; and when they have there received their due and remained their time, another guide brings them back again after many revolutions of ages.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy.”
The Importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde“But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions. ”
