If I lack awareness, then why should I care what happens to me when I am dead?
Even if I am but a pretender to wisdom, that in itself is philosophy.
I like best the wine drunk at the cost of others.
Man is the most intelligent of the animals - and the most silly.
No man is hurt but by himself. ...Literally by how he interprets what happens to him. If he focusses on how it could have been better, he will be hurt. If he focusses on how it could have been worse, he will be happy. The same is true for women too.
People who talk well but do nothing are like musical intruments; the sound is all they have to offer.
