Every man has an obscure respect for courage in others,
especially if it is moral courage, the rarest and most difficult
sort of bravery...
It makes the very brute understand that this man is more
than a man.
Passage from Life of Christ
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do
not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but
rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We
are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act
but a habit.
Aristotle
Hope and patience are two sovereign remedies for all, the
surest reposal, the softest cushions to lean on in adversity.
Robert Burton
To the world you are somebody but to somebody you are
the world
No one decides they want to be born into this world, but
we have a choice how we want to live and die out of this
world.
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people
to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly,
even if they roll a few stones upon it.
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)
As we acquire more knowldege, things do not become more comprehensible,
but more mysterious.
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)
