Jackothy Sinope

“At times the whole world seems to be in conspiracy to importune you with emphatic trifles. Friend, client, child, sickness, fear, want, charity, all knock at once at thy closet door and say,—'Come out unto us.' But keep thy state; come not into their confusion. The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
― Mark Twain

“...remember that what has once been done may be done again.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
