“Solomon sayde: better to dwell in emptie earth than to dwell with a chydynge and an angrye woman; Philo said the just man is not he who will not offend but he who could offend but does not wish to; Socrates saw his friend, who was rushing to artists to order his image be carved upon rock, and he said to him, you are rushing for a stone to become like yourself, why not take care that you do not become like a stone; Philip II of Macedon assigned a certain person to serve amongst other judges when he learned the judge was coloring his hair and beard, and he barred him from judging, saying: yf you are not true to your hayrie lockes, how can you be a true judge unto people, Solomon sayde: There be thre thinges too wonderfull for me, and as for the fourth, it passeth my knowledge: The waye of an aegle in the ayre, the waye of a serpent over the stone, the waye of a shippe in the see, and the waye of a man wyth a yonge woman. Solomon did not understand this. Christofer did not understand this. Life would prove that Arseny did not understand this, either.”
Eugene Vodolazkin, Evgenij Vodolazkin, Laurus

Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
“When your friends act like something is amiss,
analyse if there’s something you’ve been remiss.
When your family has been good to you,
analyse so you may them continue.

For each failure, analyse why the fail;
aim’s not to blame, but to adjust your sail.
For each success, analyse why the hit,
aim’s not to gloat, but to pave a repeat.”
Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
