“If your ultimate and highest goal is to have life made easy and sociable, then never become involved with Christianity, shun it, because it wants the very opposite; it wants to make your life difficult and to do this by making you alone before God. No earnest person, therefore, wearies of tracking down the illusions, because insofar as he is a thinking person he fears most to be in error, however cozy the arrangement is, however good the company—and as a Christian he fears most to be lost without knowing it—however flattering, however splendid the surroundings and the company are.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“A man never speaks of himself without losing something. What he says in his disfavor is always believed, but when he commends himself, he arouses mistrust. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“If thou would estimate thyself, put away wealth, land, honors; scrutinize thyself within.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Think before thou speakest.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.”
A Tramp Abroad • Mark Twain
