The man who will live above his present circumstances is in great danger of living in a little time much beneath them; or as the Italian proverb runs, "The man who lives by hope, will die by hunger."

~ Joseph Addison ~

The true philosophical Act is annihilation of self (Selbsttodtung); this is the real beginning of all Philosophy; all requisites for being a Disciple of Philosophy point hither. This Act alone corresponds to all the conditions and characteristics of transcendental conduct.

~ Novalis ~

Vos qui regalis corporis custodias
agitatis, ite actutum in frundiferos locos
ingenio arbusta ubi nata sunt non obsitu.

To be my royal bodyguard, go you
Straightway into the leafy places, where
Greenwoods have grown in nature's way and not
From a man's sowing.

~ Gnaeus Naevius ~

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows,
While proudly riding o’er the azure realm
In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes;
Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm;
Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind’s sway,
That, hush’d in grim repose, expects his evening prey.

~ Thomas Gray ~
