Quidquid recipitur ad modum recipientis recipitur.<p>“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth ― only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.”<p>― C.S. Lewis<p>“In truth, there are only two kinds of people; those who accept dogma and know it, and those who accept dogma and don't know it.”<p>― G.K. Chesterton<p>“All people suffer, but […] not all people pity themselves.”<p>― Marcus Aurelius<p>"A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials."<p>― Chinese proverb<p>"Men's hatred for the one who has been unjust to them is trifling compared to their hatred for the one they have treated unjustly; every reminder of him brings a fresh twinge of pain."<p>― Paul Mankowski<p>"The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk."<p>― Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel<p>"Let your credo be this. Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me."<p>- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn<p>“We should understand the meaning of statements from the reasons for making them, since speech ought to be governed by things, not things by speech.”<p>- Hilary of Poitiers
