“There are two sorts of ignorance: we philosophize to escape ignorance; we start from the one, we repose in the other; they are the goals from which and to which we tend; and the pursuit of knowledge is but a course between two ignorances, as human life is only a traveling from grave to grave.” HumansTwoLife IsCoursesGoalIgnorancePursuitGravesHuman LifeReposePursuit Of Knowledge Author:Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet
“I think life is difficult and that's that. I am not at all - absolutely not at all - interested in the pursuit of happiness. I am not interested in the pursuit of positivity. I am interested in pursuing a truth, and the truth often seems to be not happiness but its opposite.” ThinkingSeemsLife IsDifficultOppositesPositivityPursuitNot InterestedPursuit Of HappinessLife Is Difficult Author:Jamaica Kincaid
“If there ever was a pursuit which stultified itself by its very conditions, it is the pursuit of pleasure as the all-sufficing end of life. Happiness cannot come to any man capable of enjoying true happiness unless it comes as the sequel to duty well and honestly done. To do that duty you need to have more than one trait. From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.” IfsMenNeedsWellsSoulEndsDoneLife IsJoyFoundEnjoyPleasureConditionsDutyCapableBurdenHonestlyPursuitTraitsSmallestTrue HappinessTruestUsefulnessLife HappinessJoy Of LifeSequelsEnd Of Life Author:Theodore Roosevelt
