لأنّ ذاتَه تعالى إقتضت بحسبِ مراتب الأُلوهية والربوبية صفاتٍ متعددةً متقابلة كاللطف والقَهر، والرحمة والغضب، والرضا والسَّخط وغيرها. وتجمَعُها النعوتُ الجمالية والجلالية. إذ كلُّ ما يتعلّق باللطف هو الجمال وما يتعلق بالقهر هو الجلال. ولكلِّ جمالٍ أيضًا جلال.

I have found strength where one does not look for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, in a peasant more than in a king, in people without the least desire to rule—and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers, their admirers, their fame, etc.) The powerful natures dominate, it is a necessity, they need not lift one finger. Even if, during their lifetime, they bury themselves in a garden house.

I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.

- Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not write with hand alone.
My foot does writing of its own.

Firm, free, and bold my feet engage
in running over field and page

Only ideas won by walking have any value

Although self-medication in non-human animals is often difficult to document, We observed a male Sumatran orangutan (a species of great ape) who sustained a facial wound. Three days after the injury he selectively ripped off leaves of a liana (that isn’t part of it’s diet) and chewed on them, and then repeatedly applied the resulting juice onto the facial wound. As a last step, he fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. 8 days later the wound fully closed, one month later the wound fully healed, this related liana species are used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases, such as dysentery, diabetes, and malaria. Previous analyses of plant chemical compounds show the presence of furanoditerpenoids and protoberberine alkaloids, which are known to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antioxidant, and other biological activities of relevance to wound healing.

Many animals practice geophagia (eating earthy substances) for myriad reasons. One reason is that these materials are rich in necessary minerals such as sodium or calcium. Animals also sometimes happen to eat toxic or infected food, so they "treat themselves" with behaviors like geophagia.
