“Antiphon, as another man gets pleasure from a good horse, or a dog, or a bird, I get even more pleasure from good friends. And if I have something good, I teach it to them, and I introduce them to others who will be useful to them with respect to virtue. And together with my friends I go through the treasures of wise men of old which they left behind written in books, and we peruse them. If we see something good, we pick it out and hold it to be a great profit, if we are able to prove useful to one another.” IfsMenBookWisdomAbleTogetherLeftPleasureBehindsTeachVirtueWiseWrittenDogProveBirdPicksMy FriendsHorseProfitTreasureIntroducingGood FriendLeft BehindAnother ManGood Horse Author:Socrates
“Ambition is frequently the only refuge which life has left to the denied or mortified affections.

“Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.” FirstsHeartLeftHeavenGrowsHigherMy HeartSpringBirdFilledRoseCloudsDeeperEaglesFlewLarks Book:Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces Source: Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces
“I've always thought the American eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. The right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. The left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. Both would keep the great bird on course. But with two right wings or two left wings, it's no longer an eagle and it's going to crash.” PeopleTwoCoursesLeftInterestEconomicNeededBirdOrdinaryConcernWingsCrashOrdinary PeopleEaglesBargainsRight WingLeft WingAmerican Eagle Author:Bill Moyers
