Some meaningfull , serious and sober quotations , that indicate sometimes our evolution and path in life .
Montaigne once said " I sometimes get others to say what I cannot put so well myself because of the weaknesses of my language , and sometimes because of the weakness of my intellect ..... and sometimes to reign in the temerity of those hasty criticisms which leap to attack writings of every kind , especially recent writings by men still alive .... I have to hide my weaknesses beneath those great reputations ."
Kierkegaard , " What happens to those who try to warn the present age ??
It happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theater . The clown came out to inform the public . They thought it was just a jest and applauded . He repeated his warnings , they shouted even louder . So I think the world will come to an end amid general applause from all the wits , who believe that it is a joke ."
Kierkegaard , " The clergyman , counselling on the idea that God is love . But after several attempts the clergyman says : Well I have only one counsel to give you , there is a book about the love of God by so and so , " read it , study it , if that does not help you , no man can help you." The unknown man replies " I myself am the author of this book ."
Shopenhauer , "The man who habitually slams doors instead of shutting them with the hand ... is not merely ill-mannered , but also coarse and narrow minded ."
-- When they asked Socrates where did he come from , he did not say " from Athens " but
"from the world ."
As usual my gratitude for your time and patience , salamat .
