Our time is a very shadow that passeth away.
Wisdom of Solomon (c. B.C. 200)
As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house,
passion will break through an unreflecting mind.
As rain does not break throught a well-thatched house,
passion will not break throught a well-reflecting mind.
The Dhammapada (c. B.C. 300)
Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger,
and a mental willingness to endure it.
William T. Sherman (1820-1891)
I prefer the errors of enthusiasm to the indifference of
wisdom.
Anatole France (1844-1924)
Wise men argue causes, and fools decide them.
Anacharsis (fl. B.C. 600)
If the thoughts are absolutely tranquil the heavenly heart
can be seen. The heavenly heart lies between sun and moon
(i.e. between the two eyes). It is the home of the inner
light. To make light circulate is the deepest and most
wonderful secret. The light is easy to move, but difficult
to fix. If it is made to circulate long enought, then it
crystallizes itself; that is the natural spirit body...
Lu Yen (fl. 800 A.D.)
Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.
John Tillotson (1630-1694)
Courage consists not in hazarding without fear,
but being resolutely minded in a just cause.
Plutarch (46-120 A.D.)
In solitude, be a multitude to thyself.
Tibullus (B.C. 49-19)
We hope to grow old, yet we fear old age; that is,
we are willing to live, and afraid to die.
La Bruyere (1645-1696)
