Vauvenargues.
“To achieve great things we must live as though we were never going to die.”
“There are those who are so scrupulously afraid of doing wrong that they seldom venture to do anything.”
“The greatest evil which fortune can inflict on men is to endow them with small talents and great ambitions.”
“Nothing but courage can guide life.”
“He who knows how to suffer everything can dare everything.”
“If anyone accuses me of contradicting myself I reply: Because I have been wrong once or oftener I do not aspire to be always wrong.”
“Its as simple as that. Simple and complicated, as most true things are.”
“Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.”
“People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic" should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.”
