“There is nothing so wretched and foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness to expect evil before it arrives.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“What a frightening thing is the human, a mass of gauges and dials and registers, and we can read only a few and those perhaps not accurately.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“When one does another person an injustice, in some mysterious way it does one good to discover (or to persuade oneself) that the injured party has also behaved badly or unfairly in some little matter or other; it is always a relief to the conscience if one can apportion some measure of guilt to the person one has betrayed.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“The soul, being a harmony, can never utter a note at variance with the tensions and relaxations and vibrations and other affections of the strings out of which she is composed; she can only follow, she cannot lead them? ...And yet do we not now discover the soul to be doing the exact opposite—leading the elements of which she is believed to be composed; almost always opposing and coercing them in all sorts of ways throughout life... threatening and reprimanding the desires, passions, fears, as if talking to a thing which is not herself...”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““Say no to anything that is not a high-value use of your time and your life.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy
