Quote by Blaise Pascal

Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.

Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find

Summary

This quote suggests that both having an excessive amount and zero amount of wine can hinder one's ability to find truth. It implies that moderation is key when it comes to indulging in wine, as an excessive amount can distort one's perception and judgment, while a complete absence can also hinder the clarity of thought. Essentially, the quote reflects the idea that balance is necessary in all aspects of life, including the consumption of alcohol, in order to find truth and maintain a clear state of mind.

Without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived. The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he mustin spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressuresand that is the basis of all human morality. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his consciencethe loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow meneach man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredientthey can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

Without taste genius is only a sublime kind of folly. That sure touch which the lyre gives back the right note and nothing more, is even a rarer gift than the creative faculty itself.
