Where, Who, What, And Why A person who doesn't what the universe is, doesn't know their purpose in life doesn't know who they are or what the universe is. A person who doesn't know any one of these things doesn't know why they are here. So what to make of people who seek or avoid the praise of those who have no knowledged of where or who they are? 우주가 무엇인지, 인생의 목적을 모르는 사람은 자신이 누구인지, 우주가 무엇인지도 모릅..

For nothing outside my reasoned choice can hinder or harm it-my reasoned choice alone can do this to itself. If we would lean this way whenever we fail, and would blame only ourseles and remember that nothing but opinion is the cause of a troubled mind and uneasiness, then by God, I swear we would be making progress. -Epictetus, Discourses, 3.19.2-3- 나의 합리적인 선택이 아닌 어떤것도 그것을 방해하거나 해칠 수 없기 때문에 나의 ..

This can be swiftly taught in very few words: virtue is the only good; there is no certain good without virtue; and virtue resides in our nobler part, which is the rational one. And what can this virtue be? True and steadfast judgment. For from this will arise every mental impulse, and by it every appearance that spurs our impulses will be rendered clear. -SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 71.32-' 이것은 매우 적..

오늘의 [영어명언/영어필사] 마음명상,긍정적이고 좋은 글귀는 This isn't for fun. It's for life ! Philosophy isn't a parlor trick or made for show. It's not concerned with words, but with facts. It's not employed for some pleasure before the day is spent, or to relieve the uneasiness of our leisure. It shapes and builds up the soul, it gives order to life, guides action, shows what should and shouldn't be done-it sits at t..

Many words have been spoken by Plato, zeno, Chrysippus, Posidonius, and by a whole host of equally excellent Stoics. I'll tell you how people can prove their words to be their own by putting into practice what they've been preaching. -Seneca, MoralLetters, 108.35;38- 플라톤, 제노, 크리시푸스, 포세이도니우스, 그리고 마찬가지로 뛰어난 스토아 학자들은 많은 단어들을 말해왔습니다. 저는 그들이 설교한 것을 실천함으로써 ,어떻게 사람들의 말이 자신의 것이라는 것을 증명할 수 있는 지 알려드리겠습니다...

When the problem arose for us whether habit or theory was better for getting virtue- if by theory is meant what teaches us correct conduct, and by habit we mean being accustomed to act according to this theory- Musonius thought habit to be more effective. -Musoius Rufus, Lectures,5.17.31-32,5.19.1-2- 습관이나 이론중에 어느것이 덕을 얻는 데 더 나은가 하는 문제가 생겼을 때 - 이론이 우리에게 올바른 행동을 가르치는 것을 의미하고, 습관이란 이 이론에 따라 행동하는 데 ..

Don't tell yourself anything more than what the initial impressions report. It's been reported to you that someone is speaking badly about you. This is the report- the report wasn't that you've been harmed. I see that my son is sick but not that his life is at risk. So always stay within your first impressions, and don't add to them in your head this way nothing can heppen to you. -Marcus Aureli..
