““Where the willingness is great the difficulties cannot be great.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“The longest-lived and the shortest-lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“In this present life, I reckon that we make the nearest approach to knowledge when we have the least possible concern or interest in the body, and are not saturated with the bodily nature, but remain pure until the hour when God himself is pleased to release us. And then the foolishness of the body will be cleared away and we shall be pure and hold converse with othe pure souls, and know of ourselves the clear light everywhere; and this is surely the light of truth. For no impure thing is allowed to approach the pure. These are the sort of words, Simmias, which the true lovers of wisdom cannot help saying to one another, and thinking.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Names have a mysterious transforming power. Like a ring on a finger, a name may at first seem merely accidental, committing you to nothing; but before you realize its magical power, it's gotten under your skin, become part of you and your destiny.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.”
American Claimant • Mark Twain
