“The greatest secret of monarchic rule...is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting.
~Baruch Spinoza.

“Further conceive, I beg, that a stone, while continuing in motion, should be capable of thinking and knowing, that it is endeavoring, as far as it can, to continue to move. Such a stone, being conscious merely of its own endeavor and not at all indifferent, would believe itself to be completely free, and would think that it continued in motion solely because of its own wish. This is that human freedom, which all boast that they possess, and which consists solely in the fact, that men are conscious of their own desire, but are ignorant of the causes whereby that desire has been determined.”
~Baruch Spinoza.

“Of all the things that are beyond my power, I value nothing more highly than to be allowed the honor of entering into bonds of friendship with people who sincerely love truth. For, of things beyond our power, I believe there is nothing in the world which we can love with tranquility except such men.”
~Baruch Spinoza.

“The superstitious know how to reproach people for their vices better than they know how to teach them virtues, and they strive, not to guide men by reason, but to restrain them by fear, so that they flee the evil rather than love virtues. Such people aim only to make others as wretched as they themselves are, so it is no wonder that they are generally burdensome and hateful to men.”
~Baruch Spinoza.

If you were to point out all the accomplishments of a pessimist and Optimist both, you will find that the pessimist will beg you to stop pointing out their failings while the Optimist would erg you to list even more. Therefore it is evident, Pessimists want less Optimists want more. Now is the glass half full or half empty?

When you stumble and fall, why pick yourself back up again? To be at a place where once can fall again makes no sense when the ground offers no such heights to leap from.

I have lived a good life, every challenge met, ever job completed. When I turn over my bed one final time I will know one true fact, it was all worthless in the end.

Not one second can be added to your life by worrying, however, it is a full who fails to see the risks and plan ahead.

If your hand deceives you, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of you than the whole to be wasted.

What goes up better stay up.... or else I'll have to murder my doctor!
