Philosophies and Advice

Today, philosophically, they offer wisdom, conceptions,
theories, even axioms to guide our daily living.

Several, over time, I've accumulated and share with you in this writing.

Ancient Greek and philosophers like Plato and “Aristotle
developed theories to establish culture and clear insights.

A typical playboy, Plato, from a wealthy connected Athenian family, met a man named Socrates
who taught that the surest path to wisdom was rational contemplation...and that, being a lover of wisdom or philosopher was the highest form of life! According to him: All of us want to crawl out of the cave of darkness and ignorance...and walk in the path of truth.

Plato concluded: There is no other road to happiness...either for society or the individual.

Many quotes in the world today are principles by which we lead our lives: from the days of Plato and Socrates to Biblical disciples ...to famous people of today.

Quentin L. Cook stated: We must live by Faith...not by Fear.
Oscar Wilde stated: Every great man nowadays, has his disciples.

Thomas S. Monson advised: Never let a problem to be solved
become more important than a person to be loved.
