“Desire's wind blasts the thorntree but after it becomes from a bramblebush to be a rose upon the rood of time.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“If you want to be well off and yet easily manage to become something, then forget God, never let yourself really become aware, never let it become really clear to you that it is he who has created you from nothing; proceed on the presupposition that a human being does not have time to waste on keeping in mind the one to whom he infinitely and unconditionally owes everything. ... Forget it and be noisy along with the crowd, laugh or cry, be busy from morning until night, be loved and respected and esteemed as a friend, as a public official, as a king, as a pallbearer. Above all be an earnest person by having forgotten the one and only earnestness, to relate yourself to God, to become nothing.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.”
The Valley of Fear • Arthur Conan Doyle“Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.”
The Enchiridion • Epictetus““Say no to anything that is not a high-value use of your time and your life.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy
