Hello, and welcome to my VT home page.

I love quotations, here are some of my favorites:

The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men. Plato

He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden. Plato

The unexamined life was not worth living. Socrates

The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom. Georg Hegel

Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man. Joseph de Maistre

I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know. Epictetus

Man finds nothing so intolerable as to be in a state of complete rest, without passions, without occupation, without diversion, without effort. Then he feels his nullity, loneliness, inadequacy, dependence, helplessness, emptiness. Blaise Pascal

There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous. Blaise Pascal

Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom. Herbert Spencer

That which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees. Marcus Aurelius

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. Rene Descartes

The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.
Rene Descartes

Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.
George Santayana

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana

The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool. George Santayana

A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification. D.H. Lawrence

Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair.
T.S. Eliot

    Though much is taken, much abides, and though we are not now that strength which in the days of old moved heaven and earth, we are - one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive.
