quotes

Some of my favorite quotes lol

“That to be remembered is worthless. Like fame. Like everything”

“The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with most unnecessary attention but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of man who have folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.”

“If it entertains you now but will bore you someday, it’s a distraction. Keep looking”

“The good things which belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired”

“I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
