"There has never been a poet or..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Nothing troubles you for which you do not yearn.”

“Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.”

“Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.”

“If I thought it was my identity to be a spiritual teacher, that would be a delusion. It's not an identity. It's simply a function in this world.”

“Let a man once see himself as others see him, and all enthusiasm vanishes from his heart.”

“Knowledge and ego are directly related. the less knowledge, the greater the ego”

“The blindness of men is the most dangerous effect of their pride; it seems to nourish and augment it; it deprives them of knowledge of remedies which can solace their miseries and can cure their faults.”

“My List of Virtues contain'd at first but twelve: But a Quaker Friend having kindly inform'd me that I was generally thought proud; that my Pride show'd itself frequently in Conversation; that I was not content with being in the right when discussing any Point, but was overbearing & rather insolent; of which he convinc'd me by mentioning several Instances; - I determined endeavouring to cure myself ..., and I added Humility to my List, giving an extensive Meaning to the Word.”

“Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?”
