Good advice.

I’ll have to live with the spelling error I committed.

For the Noble Soul

 

The past and the future

 The future spellbinds those who believe in the effective

ness of will, whereas the past fascinates those who are

aware of the ineffectualness of human determinations.

What man sets out to do is always boring, but what he

achieves sometimes amazes us.

El futuro apasiona a quienes creen en la eficacia de

la voluntad, mientras que el pasado fascina a los que

conocen la impotencia de los propósitos humanos.

Lo que el hombre se propone es siempre tedioso, pero lo

que

obtiene

nos asombra a veces.

I wonder if the different size fonts make this saying about not being so obsessed with the future seem more dissident, more contrary.  That’s why I like the Sec Pistols and Catholicism.

Beloved Countenance

 

• Cada insulto de la vida sobre una faz amada alimenta al verdadero amor.
• Each of life's insults of a beloved countenance nourishes true love.

Nothing saves the mediocre from their mediocrity

 

Don’t I know it!

Nada salva al mediocre de su mediocridad.

—Neither imitation of the past, nor of the present, is an infallible remedy.

Nothing saves the mediocre from their mediocrity.

Confucius quotes NGD

 

Virtue that does not doubt itself.

 

—La virtud que no duda de sí misma culmina en atentados contra el mundo.

—Virtue that does not doubt itself culminates in attacks against the world.

I have observed a lot of this so-called virtue in the world these days.  These aphorism is a plead for moderation and humility. 

Layers of Imbecility

 —La imbecilidad se deposita en el alma como un sedimento de los años.

—Layers of imbecility deposit themselves in the soul like sediment over the years.

No worse foolishness

 

Man lives himself

Do animals experience anguish?

—El hombre se vive a sí mismo como angustia o como creatura.

—Man lives himself as anguish or as a creature.

 

From a thing into a person

 

—Amor es el acto que transforma a su objeto de cosa

en persona.

—Love is the act which transforms its object from a

thing into a person.
