When evening has arrived, I return home, and go into my study. … For hours together, the miseries of life no longer annoy me; I forget every vexation; I do not fear poverty; for I have altogether transferred myself to those with whom I hold converse.
–Machiavelli
I’ve turned the page on a new week in The Guide to Daily Reading!
This was touched on earlier, but again, how on earth could someone like Machivilli accomplish so much? To have his government appointments and produce so many important works.
And all with no central heat or A/C! We’ve become consumers, not producers. Well– by “we” I don’t mean “us!”
Lol. I’m glad you didn’t mean “us.” 😉
