Lao Tzu
“Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.”
Lao Tzu

Nelson Mandela
“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death”
Nelson Mandela

Voltaire
“S'il n'existait pas Dieu il faudrait l'inventer." (If God did not exist he would have to be invented.)”
Voltaire, Francois-Marie Arouet Voltaire, Francois-Marie Arouet

Italo Calvino
“If the spark doesn't come, that's a pity; but we do not read the classics out of duty or respect, but only out of love.”
Italo Calvino, Why Read the Classics?

Viktor E. Frankl
“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
