| Любимые цитаты: |
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
Oscar Wilde

"В человеке должно быть все прекрасно: и лицо, и одежда, и душа, и мысли"
А. П. Чехов
"Все, что не убивает, делает меня сильнее."
Фридрих Ницше
«Не бойся друзей – самое страшное, что они могут сделать, это предать тебя. Не бойся врагов – самое страшное, что они могут сделать, это убить тебя. А бойся равнодушных, ибо с их молчаливого согласия совершаются все преступления на Земле».
Бруно Ясенский
The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.
Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.
The life that was to make his soul would mar his body.
Oscar Wilde
"Земля наша велика и обильна, а порядка в ней нет: приходите княжить и владеть нами"
"Повесть временных лет"
"Никакое количество белых лебедей не может быть достаточным основанием для вывода, что все лебеди белые. Но одного черного лебедя достаточно для того чтобы опровергнуть это положение."
Дэвид Юм
"Surely there comes a time when counting the cost and paying the price aren't things to think about any more. All that matters is value - the ultimate value of what one does."
