A Civilization Is Born Stoic And Dies

The World Wisely Prefers Happiness To Wisdom.

We Teach More By What We Are Than By What We Teach.

The Most Interesting Thing In The World Is Another Human Being Who Wonders, Suffers And Raises The Questions That Have Bothered Him To The Last Day Of His Life, Knowing He Will Never Get The Answers.

As Long As There Is Poverty There Will Be Gods.

So I Should Say That Civilizations Begin With Religion And Stoicism: They End With Scepticism And Unbelief, And The Undisciplined Pursuit Of Individual Pleasure. A Civilization Is Born Stoic And Dies Epicurean.
