Utinam tam facile vera invenire possem, quam falsa convincere.. Latet enim veritas, sed nihil pretiosius veritate.. forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit.. mens conscia recti.. mens sana in corpore sano.. pacta sunt servanda.. Ad meliora et ad maiora semper..

καλὸς κἀγαθός, φιλότιμο, σωφροσύνη, εὐδαιμονία, etc. Mirabile Dictu, Mirabile Visu






Selected Quotes: May they serve and remind you.








“Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life is too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap.”


“Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.”


"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self"



"You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire"



“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality”







May you find your raison d'être, may you reach true beatitude.
