Those who seek power are not worthy of that power.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who actively pursue or desire power are not deserving of it. It implies that deserving those in power are those who do not actively seek it but rather earn it through their actions, integrity, and commitment to serve others. It questions the motivations and character of those who relentlessly chase power, perhaps insinuating that their self-interest and disregard for others make them unworthy of wielding authority.

Assim, para recapitular a nossa discussÃ£o do valor da filosofia: a filosofia Ã© de estudar nÃ£o por causa de quaisquer respostas definitivas ? s suas questÃµes, dado que nenhumas respostas definitivas podem, em regra, ser conhecidas como verdadeiras, mas antes por causa das prÃ³prias questÃµes; porque estas questÃµes alargam a nossa concepÃ§Ã£o do que Ã© possÃvel, enriquecem a nossa imaginaÃ§Ã£o intelectual e diminuem a confianÃ§a dogmÃ¡tica que fecham a mente contra a especulaÃ§Ã£o; mas acima de tudo porque, atravÃ©s da grandeza do universo que a filosofia contempla, a mente tambÃ©m se torna grandiosa, e torna-se capaz dessa uniÃ£o com o universo que constitui o seu bem maior.

O, het is met de verte als met de toekomst! Een wijd, scheme

O, het is met de verte als met de toekomst! Een wijd, schemerachtig vergezicht ligt voor ons, onze ziel en onze ogen drinken het in, en wij haken ernaar ons er helemaal aan over te geven, om in alle gelukzaligheid van Ã©Ã©n groot, heerlijk gevoel te zijn vervuld. Maar och, als we erop afvliegen, dan is alles zoals tevoren en staan wij in onze armoede, in onze beperktheid, en onze ziel dorst naar ontglipte lafenis.
