Quotations on Learning and Librarianship

Epictetus

If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.

Marcus Aurelius

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.

Everywhere and at all times it is in your power to accept reverently your present condition, to behave justly to those about you, and to exert your skill to control your thoughts, that nothing shall steal into them without being well examined.

Seneca the Younger

Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.

Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
