My father also happened to be an intellectual as learned literate informed and curious as anyone I have known. Unobtrusively and casually he was my wise and gentle teacher.
A friend is as it were a second self.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Rightly defined philosophy is simply the love of wisdom.
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.
If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough...
A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere...
