“All the cruelty and torment of which the world is full is in fact merely the necessary result of the totality of the forms under which the will to live is objectified.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“We should not have either a blunt knife or a freedom of speech which is ill-managed.”
Enchiridion • Epictetus“The gentleman lolling back in the chaise was neither dashingly handsome nor yet unbearably ugly, neither too stout nor yet too thin; it could not be claimed he was old but he was no stripling, either. His arrival in the town created no stir and was not marked by anything out of the ordinary.”

On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero““And there is nothing wastes so rapidly as liberality, for even whilst you exercise it you lose the power to do so.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli
