Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.
Quotes on philosophy
We have an infinite supply of information and yet we cannot read.
Every day of our life has risk. So never fear to take one.
Think of your many years of procrastination; how the gods have repeatedly granted you further periods of grace, of which you have taken no advantage.

Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment; or it will be gone, and never in your power again.
