“Originality is being different from oneself, not others.”
― Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica

“Man is the hardest animal to kill, when you kill a man, your hands shake, your eyes twitch, your heart flutters, but you kill non the less.”
― Salvatore Maranzano

“No man’s good by accident. Virtue has to be learnt.”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.

Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.

Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.”
― Bhagavad Gita
