To be wise, you
must follow your intellect, even though such a way of life is often attacked.
The heavens do
not approve when we sin, and the earth does not approve when we are virtuous.
—The Talmud
Do not be
interested in the quantity of people who respect and admire you, but in their
quality. If bad people dislike you, so much the better.
—Lucius Annaeus
Seneca
Human intellect
is a divine lamp, and its light penetrates to the depth of things.
—Eastern Wisdom
You should not be upset by the sight of wisdom being
criticized. Wisdom would not be real wisdom if it did not reveal the stupidity
of a bad life, and people would not be people if they endured this revelation
without criticism.
