"There are occasions and causes, why and..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her) Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished!”

“I'll have no husband, if you be not he.”

“Your date is better in your pie and your porridge than in your cheek.”

“Manushya (man) is a being with Manas (mind); and as soon as his thinking power goes, he becomes no better than an animal.”

“But merely accepting authoritarian truth, even if that truth has some virtue, does not bring skepticism to an end. To blindly accept a truth one has never reflected upon retards the advance of reason. Our world rots in deceit. . . . Just as a tree bears the same fruit year after year and at the same time fruit that is new each year, so must all permanently valuable ideas be continually created anew in thought. But our age pretends to make a sterile tree bear fruit by tying fruits of truth onto its branches.”

“Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.”

“But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.”

“What is the cause, though, of the growth of an acorn? The oak that is to come! What is to happen in the future is then the cause of what is occurring now; and, at the same time, what occurred in the past is also the cause of what is happening now. In addition, a great number of things round about, on every side, are causing what is happening now. Everything, all the time, is causing everything else”

“The first springs of great events, like those of great rivers, are often mean and little.”
