praising yourself

Even when you are fully justified in praising yourself, you should never be seduced into doing so. For vanity is so very common, and merit so very uncommon, that even if a man appears to be praising himself, though very indirectly, people will be ready to lay a hundred to one that he is talking out of pure vanity, and that he has not sense enough to see what a fool he is making of himself.

Schopenhauer

temporalidade

Se se compreende a eternidade não como a duração temporal infinita mas como intemporalidade, então vive eternamente quem vive no presente.

L.W.
