“Tradition matters because it is not given to societies to proceed through history as if they had no past and as if every course of action were available to them. they may deviate from the previous trajectory only within a finite margin. the great statesmen act at the outer limit of that margin. if they fall short, society stagnates. if they exceed it, they lose the capacity to shape posterity.”
― Henry Kissinger, World Order

“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Go at it boldly, and you'll find unexpected forces closing round you and coming to your aid.”
― Basil King, The Conquest of Fear

“The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
