like the resolution of a great mind
that has fortune under his feet.
He can look death in the face, and bid it welcome;
open his door to poverty, and bridle his appetites;
this is a man whom Providence has established
in the possession of inviolable delights.
- Seneca
Of a Happy Life
How I'm feeling these days:
Some difficulties meet, full many
I find them not, nor seek for any.
-James Holman "the Blind Traveler"
And, to celebrate the advocate in me:
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?/Who will guard the guards?"
- Juvenal
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor"
- Desmond Tutu
