Not a single thing that is done on earth happens without you, God,
Nor in the divine heavenly sphere nor in the sea,
Except for what bad people do in their foolishness.

But it’s a symptom of a collapse in #values & #norms that, unless confronted & reversed, may herald the end of the #American #experiment. We should heed the words of the #Stoic #philosopher #Seneca about the rise & fall of the #Roman #Republic: 'Increases are of sluggish #growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.'"

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than walk alone in the light.

If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

Is it not better to use what is in thy power like a free man than to desire in a slavish and abject way what is not in thy power?

Mercy often means giving death, not life.

You are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to be.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

To a longer and worse life, a shorter and better is by all means to be preferred.

Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.
