12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“The surest way for those who want to rule is praising moderation, talking of peace and quiet.”
Oedipus • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“He who is a philosopher or lover of learning, and is entirely pure at departing, is alone permitted to reach the gods. And this is the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why the true votaries of philosophy abstain from all fleshly lusts, and endure and refuse to give themselves up to them—not because they fear poverty or ruin of their families, like the lovers of money, and the world in general; nor like the lovers of power and honor, because they dread the dishonor or disgrace of evil deeds.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The nature of the All moved to make the universe.”

His arrival in the town created no stir and was not marked by anything out of the ordinary.”
