How much there is in the world I do not want

I am a citizen, not of Athens or Greece, but of the world

I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world."

[As quoted in Plutarch's Of Banishment]

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

See one promontory, one mountain, one sea, one river, and see all.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
