[Quote No.52774] Need Area: Mind > Learn "[Life-skilled:] Whom do I call educated?
First, those who manage well the circumstances which they encounter day by day and those who possess a judgment which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise and rarely miss the expedient course of action.
Next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all men, bearing easily and good-naturedly what is unpleasant and offensive in others, and being as agreeable and reasonable to their associates as it is humanly possible to be.
Furthermore, those who hold their pleasures always under control and are not ultimately overcome by their
misfortunes, bearing up under them bravely and in a manner worthy of our common nature.
Finally, and most important of all, those who are not spoiled by their successes, who do not desert their true selves, but hold their ground steadfastly as wise and sober-minded men, rejoicing no more in the good things that have come to them through chance than in the which, through their own nature and intelligence, are theirs since birth.
Those who have a character which is in accord, not with one of these things, but with all of them -- these I maintain are educated and whole men [and women] possessed of all the virtues of a man [or woman].

[Quote No.68677] Need Area: Mind > Learn "[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda; conflict, war, physical-corporal and capital punishment; morality and ethics - freedom from force and fraud:]
And now, O men who have condemned me, I would fain prophesy to you; for I am about to die, and in the hour of death men are gifted with prophetic power. And I prophesy to you who are my murderers, that immediately after my departure punishment far heavier than you have inflicted on me will surely await you...If you think that by killing men you can prevent some one from censuring your evil lives, you are mistaken; that is not a way of escape which is either possible or honourable; the easiest and the noblest way is not to be disabling others, but to be improving yourselves. This is the prophecy which I utter before my departure to the judges who have condemned me." - Socrates Socrates' Apology - according to Plato, delivered at Athens, Greece – 399 BC.

[Quote No.32630] Need Area: Body > General "[The mystery of death:] Let us reflect in another way, and we shall see that there is great reason to hope that death is a good; for one of two things - either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now if you suppose that there is no consciousness, but a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by the sight of dreams, death will be an unspeakable gain. For if a person were to select the night in which his sleep was undisturbed even by dreams, and were to compare with this the other days and nights of his life, and then were to tell us how many days and nights he had passed in the course of his life better and more pleasantly than this one, I think that any man, I will not say a private man, but even the great king will not find many such days or nights, when compared with the others. Now, if death is like this, I say that to die is gain; for eternity is then only a single night. But if death is the journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the dead are, what good, O my friends and judges, can be greater than this?" - Socrates Philosopher. From his work, 'Apology'.

[Quote No.57311] Need Area: Body > General "[The mystery of death:] To fear death is nothing other than to think oneself wise when one is not. For it is to think one knows what one does not know.
