If literature teaches you nothing about life, it teaches you nothing.
George Eliot
If literature teaches you nothing about life, it teaches you nothing.
George Eliot
To understand is to perceive patterns.
Isaiah Berlin
The bad man desires arbitrary power. What moves the evil man is the love of injustice.
John Rawls
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.
Socrates/Sōkrátēs
The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato/Plátōn
Many people dream of success. Success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection. Success represents the 1% of your work that results from the 99% that is called failure.
Soichiro Honda
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.
Thomas J. Watson
There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.
Pythagoras
