“Surely no man can reflect, without wonder upon the vicissitudes of human life arising from causes in the highest degree accidental and trifling. If you trace the necessary concatenation of human events a very little way back, you may perhaps discover that a person's very going in or out of a door has been the means of coloring with misery or happiness the remaining current of his life.” IfsMenWayHumansMayMeanLittlesPersonsHas BeensCausesChanceWonderDoorsEventsDegreesHighestMiseryCurrentsHuman LifeTriflingVicissitudes Author:Sir Fulke Greville
“Do not be inaccessible. None is so perfect that he does not need at times the advice of others. He is an incorrigible ass who will never listen to any one. Even the most surpassing intellect should find a place for friendly counsel. Sovereignty itself must learn to lean. There are some that are incorrigible simply because they are inaccessible: They fall to ruin because none dares to extricate them. The highest should have the door open for friendship; it may prove the gate of help. A friend must be free to advise, and even to upbraid, without feeling embarrassed.” NeedsShouldMayDoeHelpingFeelingsFallPerfectDoorsAdviceProveHighestShould HaveDareIntellectAssRuinsFriendlyGatesEmbarrassedSovereigntyAdviseInaccessibleSurpassingIncorrigibleUpbraid Book:The Art of Worldly Wisdom Source: The Art of Worldly Wisdom

“When they say [Donald Trump] is not "presidential": I asked myself what does it mean to be "presidential"? You wear a suit; you talk to the American people like you possess the character and the dignity of one who seeks the highest office in the land, and behind the door you're the worst criminal on the planet, plotting the overthrow of nations and governments, and regime change, and sending drones to kill people you don't like?
