Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses of Truth: With Essays on Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius Every surmise and vaticination of the mind is entitled to a certain respect, and we learn to prefer imperfect theories, and sentences which contain glimpses of truth, to digested systems which have no one valuable suggestion. - Emerson. The study of proverbs may be more instructive and comprehensive than the most elaborate scheme of philosophy. - Motherwell. Good maxims are germs of all good; firmly impressed on the memory they nourish the will. - Joubert. Exclusively of the abstract sciences the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms; and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism. - Coleridge. Why spin a story when a phrase will tell what thou hast to say? Why read a book when an aphorism will express the truth a volume may hold? Wisdom becomes current and passes most readily from mind to mind when it is coined into proverbs and maxims, which, holding a world of meaning in small compass, delight by their brevity and stimulate by their wealth of implication. The wise seek these focuses of light and warmth with more eagerness, cling to them with more joy, and cherish them with more devoutness than misers gold.
