"Self-taught poverty is a help toward philosophy,..." - Quote by Diogenes

“You will become a teacher of yourself when for the same things that you blame others, you also blame yourself.”

“It takes a wise man to discover a wise man.”

“Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad.”

“To be born poor is not our fault, but to die poor is crime”

“The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.”

“I went to bed hungry many nights as a child. It was a Dream that dressed me up when I was ragged, and it was a Dream that filled me up when I was hungry. Now it's my Dream to see that no child in this world ever goes hungry, certainly not here in America, the most bountiful country in the world. We can do better...we must!”

“The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but theconsequences and rules of action drawn from it.”

“Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.”

“One link in a chain explains the infinite chain.”
