Wisdom consists of knowing how to distinguish the nature of trouble, and in choosing the lesser evil.

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

What is your favourite Machiavelli quote?

“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.”

“Only the person who is essentially capable of remaining silent is capable of speaking essentially.”

#sorenkierkegaard

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.
