  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    If you tell children that they ought to be affectionate, you run the risk of producing cant and humbug. But if you make them happy and free, if you surround them with kindness, you will find that they become spontaneously friendly with everybody, and that almost everybody responds by being friendly with them. A trustful affectionate disposition justifies itself, because it gives irresistible charm, and creates the response which it expects. This is one of the most important results to be expected from the right education of character.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Good Life, Part 2, ch. 11 “Affection and Sympathy” (1926)

  27. “He never exhibited rudeness, lost control of himself, or turned violent. No one ever saw him sweat. Everything was to be approached logically and with due consideration, in a calm and orderly fashion but decisively, and with no loose ends.

    You could have said of him (as they say of Socrates) that he knew how to enjoy and abstain from things most people find it hard to abstain from and all too easy to enjoy. Strength, perseverance, self-control in both areas: the mark of a soul in readiness — indomitable.”

    Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Debts and Lessons, Antoninus), 1.16
