A person's own efforts are the most important thing; no books, no teachers, no outside help, no lessons can replace independent mental work.

A person of any mental quality has his own ideas. That's common sense.

The law of necessity from an early age teachs a person to do what he does not like, in order to prevent evil that would not be even more to his liking.

The wonderful green of the forests, which I will never see on the Mara, the generosity of earthly nature, the endless fountain of life in its endless manifestations. Mighty and obedient animals to man, sown fields on a mountain slope, the shine of a blue river flowing into an endless ocean! ... Isn't it for the happiness of man that all this exists on the planet where he was lucky to be born? Why is there hatred, struggle, cruelty in this blissful land?

" Mom," Dima said, having already dealt with the omelet and stirring furiously in a mug of cocoa. - And Uncle Vanya will live with us now?
- And let's ask him? Olga stared at me slyly. For a second, I was stunned, scrolling through the answer options in my head.
- What's the problem with the person? - Elena Alekseevna was indignant, slipping the great-grandchildren of the oladushka. - It is necessary to cut with feeling, and not to pull like nails with a nailer!

Nothing encourages a person to war like the stomachs of his children gurgling with hunger.

The aphorism leaves more room for a person.

The pessimist believes that the world is bad, the optimist that the world is good, the meliorist believes that it is improving. At the same time, the meliorist can see all the calamities of the world, all the abomination of reality, all the weakness and sinfulness of man; but at the same time the meliorist not only notes the constant struggle of the bright beginning, but also keeps within himself a deep confidence in his final victory.

To be human means not being limited by what you are, it means always going beyond the person himself.

The animal looks into a person like in a mirror and reflects him.

In the marine business, as in every other business in the world, there is its own service and its own science. Everything that is done is done for any service or need of a person. Science finds out, and does, and teaches, “what is the best?”, And the service uses and does the best it can. Science without service is a soap bubble. Service without science, sometimes do not be angry, will make the chickens laugh ... So that's neither science without service, nor service without science ...

Man is not an “image of God,” but a descendant of a wild, predatory beast. And one should be amazed not at the fact that there is so much of this wild and predatory in humanity, but at how much self-sacrifice, heroism, and philanthropy there is. There is no need to despair that a wolf, a hawk, a man has so much wolf, hawk and ... human. This is quite natural. But from this one can experience great joy: how much high moral beauty there is in humanity! And how much more will there be when more favorable conditions appear!

Humanity is never to sacrifice a person to any goal.

I am convinced that if God ever wanted to create such a person as the masters and professors of philosophy imagine him, then this person would have to be sent to the insane asylum on the same day.
