“The true disciple of philosophy is likely to be misunderstood by other men; they do not perceive that he is ever pursuing death and dying; and if this is true, why, having had the desire of death all his life long, should he repine at that which he has always been pursuing and desiring?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“We must make the best use that we can of the things which are in our power, and use the rest according to their nature.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Silence is learned by the many misfortunes of life.”
Thyestes • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“When men are about to commit, or sanction the commission of some injustice, it is not uncommon for them to express pity for the object either of that or some parallel proceeding, and to feel themselves, at the time, quite virtuous and moral, and immensely superior to those who express no pity at all. This is a kind of upholding of faith above works, and is very comfortable.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“Sin is whatever obscures the soul.”
The Pastoral Symphony • Andre Gide
