And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who
could not hear the music. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value
of
time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain. - Samuel
Johnson
For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed, they must be
interrupted. - Jean Paul Richter
The three things most difficult are: to keep a secret, to forget an
injury, and to make good use of leisure. - Archilochus [or Archilochos]
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil
deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us
and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the
heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his
own heart? - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a
rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and
in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry ... To apply a rule with
natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and
without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the
action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery. - George
Polya
