—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
