Some of my favorite quotes on various topics

"Reputation is what men and women think of us character is what God and angels know of us."-Thomas Paine

“My brother, if you have a virtue and she is your virtue, then you have her in common with nobody.” Even naming one’s virtue would make her too common if one must speak of her, it should be: “This is my good this I love it pleases me wholly thus alone do I will the good. I do not will it the law of a god I do not will it as human statute and need”. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra)- Friedrich Nietzsche

“Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy.” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
