of years after you and I shall write and speak no more." |

| 5. "If you set
your heart upon philosophy, you must straightway prepare yourself
to be laughed at and mocked by many who will say Behold a
philosopher arisen among us! or How came you by that brow
of scorn? But do you cherish no scorn, but hold to those things
which seem to you the best, as one set by God in that place.
Remember too, that if you abide in those ways, those who first
mocked you, the same shall afterwards reverence you; but if
you yield to them, you will be laughed at twice as much as
before." |
Epictetus, Ben Franklin
Gandhi, Robert Galvin

| 6. "The expectation
that every neurotic phenomenon can be cured may, I suspect,
be derived from the layman's belief that the neuroses are
something quite unnecessary which have no right whatever to
exist. Whereas in fact they are severe, constitutionally fixed
illnesses, which rarely restrict themselves to only a few
attacks but persist as a rule over long periods throughout
life." |
Paul Reiser, Sigmund Freud
Peter Botha, Douglas Macarthur
