Ascetic ideals reveal so many bridges to independence that a philosopher is bound to rejoice and clap his hands when he hears the story of all those resolute men who one day said No to all servitude and went into some desert.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.
All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future.
“The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.”
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak.
