"Go forth on your path, as it..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“When [men] go to war, what they want is to impose on their enemies the victor's will and call it peace.”

“Nothing conquers except truth and the victory of truth is love.”

“When regard for truth has been broken down or even slightly weakened, all things will remain doubtful.”

“The best way to become a writer is to go off and write.”

“A stranger is shot in the street, you hardly move to help. But if, half an hour before, you spent just ten minutes with the fellow and knew a little about him and his family, you might just jump in front of his killer and try to stop it. Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You can’t act if you don’t know.”

“All those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.”

“One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.”

“Life is too short to drink bad wine.”

“It seems like we wake up and it's a race until you get to bed. It gets to you after a while and you think, 'What the hell am I doing?'”
