"Philosophy is of two kinds: that which relates to conduct, and that which relates to knowledge. The first teaches us to value all things at their real worth, to be contented with little, modest in prosperity, patient in trouble, equal minded at all times. It teaches us our duty to our neighbor and ourselves." - Robert Southey

"There is no surer way to misread any document than to read it literally.

[Quote No.19032] Need Area: Friends > General
" 'What is real good?'
I asked in a musing mood;
Order, said the law court.
Knowledge, said the school.
Truth, said the wise man.
Pleasure, said the fool.
Love, said the maiden.
Beauty, said the page.
Freedom, said the dreamer.
Home, said the sage.
Fame, said the soldier.
Equity, said the seer -
Spake my heart fully sadly:
The answer is not here.
Then within my bosom, softly this I heard.
Each heart holds the secret -
Kindness is the word." - John Bolye O'Reilly
