Markus

[Jimbuna]

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

“If I had my life to live over again, I would form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is not another practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life.”
― Muriel Spark, Memento Mori

[Jimbuna]

Don't ask for a million dollars. Ask for the stuff that'll get you a million dollars - your health, your brain, your sanity, wisdom. Prepare me for when I do get that million. Make sure I don't go crazy, make sure I help my family.

Future

[Jimbuna]

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Charles Dickens

[mapuc]

You always know the mark of a coward, A coward hides behind freedom. A brave person stands in front of freedom and defends it for others.
Henry Rollins
