“It must be good to die in the knowledge that one has done some truthful work and to know that, as a result, one will live on in the memory of at least a few and leave a good example for those who come after.

― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

“No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.”
― Viktor Emil Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”
