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.
Marcus Aurelius·180 ADNowhere you can go is more peaceful — more free of interruptions — than your own soul.
Marcus Aurelius·170 ADMen seek retreats for themselves, houses in the country, sea-shores, and mountains. But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul.
Seneca·63 ADThe primary indication, to my thinking, of a well-ordered mind is a man's ability to remain in one place and linger in his own company.
