It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

What is peddled about nowadays as philosophy, especially that of N. S.

Most of man’s trouble comes from his inability to be still.

We are so constituted by Nature that we easily believe the things we hope for, but believe only with difficulty those we fear, and that we regard such things more or less highly than is just. This is the source of the superstitions by which men everywhere are troubled. For the rest, I don.
