More From Anton Chekhov
- "No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith."
- "Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out."
- "When you’re thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that’s faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that’s science."
More In Wisdom
- "The answer to old age is to keep one’s mind busy and to go on with one’s life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis."― Leon Edel
- "My mom and dad worked very hard to give me the best chance in – not just in golf but in life. You know, I was an only child, you know, my dad worked three jobs at one stage. My mom worked night shifts in a factory."― Rory McIlroy
- "No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man."― John Selden
