According to Pliny the Elder,
‘The only certainty is that nothing is certain’
I’m not sure about that… But it is a philosophical quote of which I am somewhat fond. Here then are some more.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated ~ Confucius
Wise men speak because they have something to say: fools because they have to say something ~ Plato
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express ~ Sir Francis Bacon
Friends are the siblings God never gave us ~ Mencius
Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen ~ Anaxagoras
Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another ~ Marquis de Condorcet
And finally a word from Frank,the greatest of modern philosophers…
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible ~ Frank Zappa
The Passing Place 
Thank you for these quotes! Especially the first. In a world where nothing is certain and no single belief will be agreed upon by all, it makes you wonder how on earth we choose what truths to subscribe to. 🙂

Well, as I’m a novelist, I’m more or less with Francis Bacon on this one.
“Truth is so hard to tell sometimes it needs fiction to make it plausible.”
