“But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions. ”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively; strive to get clear notions about all; give up no science entirely, for science is but one.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“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“For sight is woman-like and shuns the old. Ah! he can see enough, when years are told, Who backwards looks.”
Eviradnus • VICTOR HUGO“Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself.”
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court • Mark Twain
