“When one does not find one’s repose in oneself, it is useless to look for it elsewhere.”
–La Rochefoucauld
This reminds me of one of my very favorite quotations, Samuel Johnson’s remark, “As the Spanish proverb says, ‘He, who would bring home the wealth of the Indies, must carry the wealth of the Indies with him.’”
Agree, disagree?
