“Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments flit away and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us • Mark Twain“It is a shame for those who sweeten drink with the gifts of the bees, by badness to embitter reason which is the gift of the gods.”
Fragment • Epictetus“In historical events great men—so-called—are but labels serving to give a name to the event, and like labels they have the least possible connection with the event itself. Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will, is in an historical sense not free at all, but in bondage to the whole course of previous history, and predestined from all eternity.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy““The lion cannot defend himself against snares and the fox cannot defend himself against wolves. Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“The rain is ever falling, drip, drip, drip, by day and night, upon the broad flagged terrace-pavement.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens
