Ezra Taft Benson
“You are free to choose, but you are not free to alter the consequences of your decisions.”
Ezra Taft Benson

René Daumal
“You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.”
Rene Daumal

Jessica Townsend
“The point is—as far as the Society is concerned—if you are not honest, and determined, and brave, then it doesn’t matter how talented you are.”
Jessica Townsend, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

Ezra Taft Benson
“It is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read.”
Ezra Taft Benson

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods
