“I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.”
The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien“For we carry our fate with us — and it carries us. ”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“More and more it seems to me that the philosopher, being of necessity a man of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, has always found himself, and had to find himself, in contradiction to his today: his enemy was ever the ideal of today. So far all these extraordinary furtherers of men whom one calls philosophers, though they themselves have rarely felt like friends of wisdom but rather like disagreeable fools and dangerous question marks, have found their task, their hard, unwanted, inescapable task, but eventually also the greatness of their task, in being the bad conscience of their time.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Rhino-mounted Bantu shock troops could have overthrown the Roman Empire. It never happened.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
