“It is not poverty which produces sorrow, but desire.”
Fragment • Epictetus“An army is a strange composite masterpiece, which strength results from an enormous sum total of utter weaknesses. Thus only can we explain a war waged by humanity against humanity in spite of humanity.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of Society is not natural to mankind. It cuts against the grain. A boy would like to follow his father in pursuit of food or prey. He would like to be doing serviceable things so far as his utmost strength allowed. He would like to be earning wages however small to help to keep up the home. He would like to have some leisure of his own to use or misuse as he pleased. He would ask little more than the right to work or starve. And then perhaps in the evenings a real love of learning would come to those who are worthy – and why try to stuff in those who are not? – and knowledge and thought would open the ‘magic casements’ of the mind.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own. ”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“The meaning of my life is to help others find meaning in theirs.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl
