"The really important thing is not to..." - Quote by Socrates

“A free soul ought not to pursue any study slavishly, for nothing that is learned under compulsion stays with the mind.”

“If you can do only a little. Do what you can. What you cannot enforce, do not command.”

“Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.”

“The art of living rightly is like all arts; it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.”

“There are dreadful moments when death comes very near those we love, even if for the time being it passes by. But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living.”

“To me consensus seems to be - the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no-one believes, but to which no-one objects.”

“Flinch not, neither give up nor despair, if the achieving of every act in accordance with right principle is not always continuous with thee.”

“Leaders honor their core values, but they are flexible in how they execute them.”
