Aristotelés ()

„If, then, there are any entities or substances such as the dialecticians say the Ideas are, there must be something much more scientific than science-itself and something more mobile than movement-itself; for these will be more of the nature of actualities, while science-itself and movement-itself are potencies for these. „Obviously, then, actuality is prior both to potency and to every principle of change.
(tr. Ross)
Jsou-li tedy určitá jsoucna nebo podstaty toho druhu, jak tvrdí dialektikové o ideách, bylo by něco, co by bylo vědoucí v mnohem větší míře než věda o sobě a co by bylo v mnohem větší míře pohybováno než pohyb o sobě. Neboť toto, vědoucí i pohybované, jsou skutečnosti, ono však, věda a pohyby, jsou jejich možnosti.
Je tedy zřejmo, že skutečnost jest dříve než možnost a každý počátek změny.
(0176, Metafysika, překl. Ant.Kříž, Praha 1946, s. 241 – IX, 8; 1050 .)

Aristotelés ()

This is why Plato, in the Timaeus, identifies ´matter´ and ´room´, because ´room´ and ´the receptive-of determination´ are one and the same thing. His account of the ´receptive´ differs in the Timaeus and in what are known as his Unwritten Teachings, but he is consistent in asserting the identity of ´place´ and ´room´. Thus, whereas everyone asserts the reality of ´place´, only Plato has so much as attempted to tell us what it is.b
(Physics IV, 2, 209b 14)

b Aristotle too identifies ´place´ and ´room´ (cf. Introduction to this Book, p. 272), but Aristotle assimilates them /289/ both to the surface-continent, and Plato to the intramural dimensionally. See Plato, Tim. 52 A and Archer Hind, ad loc.

Rudyard Kipling ()

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowence for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: „Hold on!“
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which ist more – you’ll be a Man, my son!
(3699, Sixty Poems, London 1945, p. 111–12.)

Qui est-ce?
C'est une capitale
Avec une Tour Eiffel
Et un pont
C'est une grande capitale
Dans le pays Tchèque
Avec de belles forêts

Homér ()

(bůh přichází jako noc)
… . ό δ´ ήϊε νυκτι εοικώσ.
…; and his coming was like the night.
I, 47
(6268, The Iliad, Loeb, Cambridge (Mass.) + London 1978, p. 6 + 7.)
Těmito prosil slovy – i slyšel ho Apollón Foibos:
S olympských povstal výšin a kráčel, rozhněván v srdci,
lučiště na pleci maje a toulec zamčený kolkol.
Rázem řinkot šípů se rozzvučel, jak se dal v pochod,
s plecí rozhněvaného. – I kráčel podoben noci.
Konečně opodál lodí si usednuv, vystřelil šipku;
hrozný zazněl zvuk, jak lukem stříbrným střelil.
I, 44-49
(0629, Ílias, př. O.Vaňorný, J.Laichter, Praha 31942, str. 4.)
