Appetitus Rationi Pareat

Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.

Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.

If you aspire to the highest place, it is no disgrace to stop at the second, or even the third, place.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

You may trust him in the dark.

Their silence cries aloud.

Old people #2
Socrates

The unexamined life is not worth living.

To find yourself, think for yourself.

Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannise their teachers.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

The hottest love has the coldest end.

I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.

Old people #3
Plato

There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.

Old people #4
Carl Jung

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.

It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.

It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.

The word "belief" is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it.

The word "happiness" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
