“It may be said, indeed, that without bones and muscles and the other parts of the body I cannot execute my purposes. But to say that I do as I do because of them, and that this is the way in which the mind acts, and not from the choice of the best, is a very careless and idle mode of speaking. I wonder that they cannot distinguish the cause from the condition, which the many, feeling about in the dark, are always mistaking and misnaming.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Will you not allow that I have as much of the spirit of prophecy in me as the swans? For they, when they perceive that they must die, having sung all their life long, do then sing more than ever, rejoicing in the thought that they are about to go away to the god whose ministers they are.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Either knowledge is not to be attained at all, or if at all, after death. For then, and not til then, the soul will be in herself alone and without the body.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The price of greatness is responsibility.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
