"Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”

“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.”

“One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.”

“Love is the supreme unifying principle of life.”

“Consider the concepts referred to in the words 'where', 'when', 'why', 'being', to the elucidation of which innumerable volumes of philosophy have been devoted. We fare no better in our speculations than a fish which should strive to become clear as to what is water.”

“One trait in the philosopher's character we can assume is his love of the knowledge that reveals eternal reality, the realm unaffected by change and decay.”

“No misfortune is worse than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy, I risk losing my treasure.”

“Be willing to have it so. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.”

“People that are conceited of their own merit take pride in being unfortunate, that themselves and others may think them considerable enough to be the envy and the mark of fortune.”
