"Misery motivates, not utopia...." - Quote by Karl Marx

“The Jews of Poland are the smeariest of all races.”

“Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.”

“Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.”

“It [what you choose to do] has got to be something that you're passionate about because otherwise you won't have the perseverance to see it through.”

“Encouragement is the fuel on which hope runs.”

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

“All misery and pain come from attachment.”

“O, how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors.”

“En un mot, l'homme conna|"t qu'il est mise rable: il est donc mise rable, puisqu'il l'est; mais il est bien grand, puisqu'il le conna|"t. In one word, man knows that he is miserable and therefore he is miserable because he knows it; but he is also worthy, because he knows his condition.”
