Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld

It is more easy to be wise for others than for ourselves.

It is more easy to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is often easier to give advice or offer wisdom to others, than it is to apply that same wisdom to our own lives. When we analyze situations from an objective standpoint, we can often see the best course of action and offer advice to others accordingly. However, when it comes to our own lives, our emotions and biases can cloud our judgment, often making it more difficult to make wise decisions. It emphasizes the importance of taking a step back and trying to detach ourselves from our own personal biases when seeking wisdom for ourselves.

In order for the wheel to turn, for life to be lived, impuri

In order for the wheel to turn, for life to be lived, impurities are needed, and the impurities of impurities in the soil, too, as is known, if it is to be fertile. Dissension, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that's why you're not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, and you are not. But immaculate virtue does not exist either, or if it exists it is detestable.

It was the end of the October term of my sophomore year, and everything was petty normal, except for Social Studies, which was no big surprise. Mr. Dimas, who taught the class, had a reputation for unconventional teaching methods.
