Life and Existence

There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.

Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness.

Intellectuel = celui qui se dédouble.

Someone spoke of your death, Heraclitus. It brought me

Iacta alea est.

Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story;

I knew it was love, and I felt it was glory.

My hair is grey, but not with years,

My days are in the yellow leaf;

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,

Time, the avenger! unto thee I lift

Time, the avenger! unto thee I lift

He rushed into the field, and, foremost fighting, fell.

But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!

On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;

To live is like to love—all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.

An apology for the Devil: It must be remembered that we have only heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.

It has been said that though God cannot alter the past, historians can; it is perhaps because they can be useful to Him in this respect that He tolerates their existence.

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us

Nae man can tether time or tide.

Nae man can tether time or tide.

My love she’s but a lassie yet.
