“So dry your tears. Fortune has not yet turned her hatred against all your blessings. The storm has not yet broken upon you with too much violence. Your anchors are holding firm and they permit you both comfort in the present, and hope in the future.” — Boethius
"I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In Englands green & pleasant Land." William Blake, Jerusalem Happy St George's Day 🏴
Don’t let the postmodernists and moral relativists convince you that ultimate truth doesn’t exist. The fullness of truth may not be something that can ever be possessed or even apprehended by the human intellect but it is a force that beckons to us and orients us properly in the…
Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
The new psychologists, who are almost eagerly at war with reason, never tire of telling us that the very terms we use are colored by our subconsciousness, with something we meant to exclude from our consciousness.
Man’s main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” — Abraham Maslow
“He that wrongs another man wrongs, above all, himself, and evil schemes bring more harm on those who plot them.” — Hesiod
Around the middle of the first millennium BC, an unprecedented spiritual revolution began to take place. Dubbed the ‘Axial Age’ by the philosopher Karl Jaspers, it was an era that birthed the Western mind; a time where “man, as we know him today, came into being." A thread 🧵
Superstition hinders religion by preventing man from acknowledging God so as to worship Him: and when a man's mind is engrossed in some undue worship, he cannot at the same time give due worship to God (ST 2-2.122.3).
Man is not fully conditioned and determined but rather determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them.
“But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.” — Ernest Hemingway
As with Nature, you too must learn to change, evolve, and grow. “Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.” ~Marcus Aurelius
“All cruel people describe themselves as paragons of frankness.” — Tennessee Williams
@stoicusok Just spotted Vincent van der Vinne's "Vanitas with a Royal Crown" and now I'm seriously considering making a crown out of my coffee cup. Feeling regal AF ��☕ #royaltywithoutthetaxes
“Wherever fate pulls or hauls us, there we have to follow; Whatever happens, fortune can be beaten by nothing but endurance.” — Virgil, The Aeneid
"This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends." — Euripides, Herakles
To suffer unnecessarily is masochistic rather than heroic.
If God spoke the universe into existence and made us in his own image, it follows that our own speech has serious creative power. We don't literally create a universe when speaking, but we are doing something godlike. Such a power needs to be exercised with care.
