Epictetus: The first and most necessary topic in philosophyis that of the use of moral theorems, such as, "We ought not tolie." And so it is that Dr. E sought epic stoicism in art, nature,physics, poetry, and philosophyin the Truth of Eternal Soul.
Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs ofreverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies,the stars, the very nature of God!
Vincent van Gogh: When I have a terrible need ofshall I say the word religion, then I go out and paint the stars.

Without art, thecrudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. George Bernard Shaw

Marcus : In the writings of the Ephesians there wasthis precept, constantly to think of some one of the men of former times whopracticed virtue. The Pythagoreans bid us in the morning look to the heavensthat we may be reminded of those bodies which continually do the same thingsand in the same manner perform their work, and also be reminded of their purityand nudity. For there is no veil over a star.
Vincent van Gogh: I experience a period of frighteningclarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure ofmyself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.

Seneca: When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees,higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thicklyinter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness ofthe place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with thepresence of a deity?
Ludwig Van Beethoven: Recommend virtue to your children; italone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.
Leonardo da Vinci: Do not count as riches anything that canbe lost. Virtue is the true wealth and reward of its owner. It cannot be lost;it does not forsake us, unless life leaves us first. Earthly goods and materialriches are always warily held; often their owner, on losing possession of them,is left duped and scorned.

Blaise Pascal: The manner in which Epictetus, Montaigne, andSalomon de Tultie wrote, is the most usual, the most suggestive, the mostremembered, and the oftener quoted; because it is entirely composed of thoughtsborn from the common talk of life. Note: Salomon de Tultie was a pseudonymadopted by Pascal as the author of the Provincial Letters. Blaise Pascal,Penses, 18 (1669).

Virtue does not comefrom money, but money, and every lasting good of man, derives from virtue. Socrates
Live as brave men;and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts... A roomwithout books is like a body without a soul... A happy life consists intranquility of mind....Where is there dignity unless there is honesty? Cicero
Conscience is themost sacred of all property. James Madison
The age of chivalry isgone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators, has succeeded; and theglory of Europe is extinguished forever. Edmund Burke
