Quote
Kempis, Netherlands
In silence and in stillness a devout soul maketh progress, and learneth the mysteries of Holy Scripture.
The fashion of this world passeth away and I would fain occupy myself with the things that are abiding.
To account nothing of one’s self, and to think always kindly and highly of others, this is great and perfect wisdom.
Epictetus·135 ADIt is difficulties that show what men are.
Charles de Gaulle·1951Character is the virtue of hard times.
Lucretius·-55 ADSo it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.
