Something to think about
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
— Jawaharal Nehru
Life is like the dice that, falling, still show a different face. So life, though it remains the same, is always presenting different aspects.
— Alexis
Our life’s a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently.
— Palladas
The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.
— Seneca (7 BC-65 AD)
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
