Isocrates
“It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement.

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs, therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity or undue depression in adversity.”
Isocrates

Zygmunt Bauman
“No longer can democracy and freedom be fully and truly secure in one country, or even in a group of countries; their defence in a world saturated with injustice and inhabited by billions of humans denied human dignity will inevitably corrupt the very values they are meant to defend.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Times: Living in an Age of Uncertainty

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I've never been a coward at heart, although I've always been a coward in action”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Friedrich Nietzsche
“No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

Marcus Aurelius
“Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
