Quotes for the Day

From Robert Fripp's web site, an aphorism:

We have three rights: the right to work, the right to pay to work, and the right to suffer the consequences of our work.

We have three obligations: the obligation to work, the obligation to pay to work, and the obligation to suffer the consequences of our work.

From Chapter X, v. 15 of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations.

Little of life remains to you. Live as on a mountain. For it makes no difference whether a man lives there or here, if he lives everywhere as a citizen of the world. Let men see, let them know a real man who lives according to nature. If they cannot endure him, let them kill. For that is better that to live as they do.

From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

“Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.”
