To be wise, you must follow your intellect, even though such a way of life is often attacked.
The heavens do not approve when we sin, and the earth does not approve when we are virtuous.
— The Talmud
Do not be interested in the quantity of people who respect and admire you, but in their quality. If bad people dislike you, so much the better.
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Human intellect is a divine lamp, and its light penetrates to the depth of things.
— Eastern Wisdom
You should not be upset by the sight of wisdom being criticized. Wisdom would not be real wisdom if it did not reveal the stupidity of a bad life, and people would not be people if they endured this revelation without criticism.
