No One Dances Sober, Unless He Is

For While We Are Enclosed In These Confinements Of The Body, We Perform As A Kind Of Duty The Heavy Task Of Necessity; For The Soul From Heaven Has Been Cast Down From Its Dwelling On High And Sunk, As It Were, Into The Earth, A Place Just The Opposite To Godlike Nature And Eternity. But I Believe That The Immortal Gods Have Sown Souls In Human Bodies So There Might Exist Beings To Guard The World And After Contemplating The Order Of Heaven, Might Imitate It By Their Moderation And Steadfastness In Life.

They Condemn What They Do Not Understand.

A Person Who Is Wise Does Nothing Against Their Will, Nothing With Sighing Or Under Coercion.

I Prefer The Most Unfair Peace To The Most Righteous War.

The Intellect Engages Us In The Pursuit Of Truth. The Passions Impel Us To Action.
