An evil person damages not only others but himself. —After SOCRATES

“We would think a man insane who, instead of covering his house with a roof and putting windows in his window frames, goes out in stormy weather, and scolds the wind, the rain, and the clouds. But we all do the same when we scold and blame the evil in other people instead of fighting the evil which exists in us.” —Tolstoy

“It is much better to believe that everything which God makes for us is good than to believe in all the pleasures of paradise.” —Tolstoy

“We should be ready to change our views at any time, and slough off prejudices, and live with an open and receptive mind. A sailor who sets the same sails all the time, without making changes when the wind changes, will never reach his harbor.” —Henry George

“Beware of everything which puts an obstacle between you and God.” —Tolstoy
