How to Behave with Other People’s Pregnancies

No people can be great who have ceased to be virtuous. Samuel Johnson

Favorite Quotes

It is because you don’t know the end and purpose of things that you think the wicked and the criminal have power and happiness. (Boethius)

He who is virtuous is wise; and he who is wise is good; and he who is good is happy. (Boethius)

Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.  (Boethius)

Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand and take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth; and then some day you will be worthy of the banquets of the gods. But if you do not take these things even when they are set before you, but despise them, then you will not only share the banquet of the gods, but share also their rule. (Epictetus)
