M. Scott Peck
“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult ―once we truly understand and accept it― then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”
M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth

William Faulkner
“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
William Faulkner

Cal Newport
“If you want to love what you do, abandon the passion mindset (“what can the world offer me?”) and instead adopt the craftsman mindset (“what can I offer the world?”).”
Cal Newport, So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love

Marcus Aurelius
“Everything has come into being for a purpose - a horse, say, a vine. Does this surprise you? Even the sun will say, 'I came into being for a purpose': likewise the other gods. For what purpose, then, were you created? For your pleasure? Just see whether this idea can be entertained.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Socrates
“I only know that I know nothing”
Socrates
