“...why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!”
Emma • Jane Austen“But oh! shipmates! on the starboard hand of every woe, there is a sure delight; and higher the top of that delight, than the bottom of the woe is deep.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Suppose that there are two sorts of existences, one seen, and the other unseen. ...The seen is the changing, and the unseen is the unchanging. ...And further, is not one part of us body, and the rest of us soul? ...Then the soul is more like to the unseen, and the body to the seen? ...the soul is then dragged by the body into the region of the changeable, and wanders and is confused; the world spins round her, and she is like a drunkard when under their influence?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“We are most nearly ourselves when we achieve the seriousness of the child at play.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
