Dear Madam,

I was traveling for a shortwhile...I am in the thick of this site

This topic requires careful research & I would not like to share something for the sake of it...Then there is no difference between me and those whom Plato describes as persons who share because they have to say something
 
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

Plato (427BC-347BC)
 
Excellence" is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice.
We do not act "rightly" because we are "excellent",
in fact we achieve "excellence" by acting "rightly".”

Plato (427BC-347BC)
 
Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others

Plato (427BC-347BC)

I am just amazed by the pearls of wisdom by Plato some 2400 years back!

...and you are doing the necessary spade work and bringing in rare quotations.

That is precisely WHY I missed your thought provoking and inspiring posts in this

thread dear sir! Please post whenever possible, whatever you think is appropriate.

I don't like to exert pressure nor be under it. :)

I can see you are also busy in your own thread (s)! :roll:

Often cause and effect can be interchanged. (a seed and a tree)

Often cause and effect are confusing! (a hen and an egg)

Here Acting right is the cause.

Achieving Excellence is the effect!

Goodness breeds goodness.
Hatred breeds hatred.
Man has always been the same.
So wisdom becomes ageless.
Whatever was true 2400 years ago,
has to be true even today.
Man has not changed at all!!!
 
Virtue

It has been my experience that
folks who have no vices
have very few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln.

Virtue is like a rich stone - best plain set.
Francis Bacon

Virtue is the one and only nobility.
Juvenal
 
It is only when the correct practice is followed for a long time, without interruptions and with a quality of positive attitude and eagerness, that it can succeed.”

Patanjali, Yoga Sutras
 
For those who have an intense urge for Spirit and wisdom, it sits near them, waiting.

Patanjali, Yoga Sutras

Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked

Patanjali, Yoga Sutras


 
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations; your consciousness expands in every direction; and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

Patanjali
 
Sloth is the great enemy -- the inspirer of cowardice, irresolution, self-pitying grief, and trivial, hairsplitting doubts. Sloth may also be a psychological cause of sickness. It is tempting to relax from our duties, take refuge in ill-health and hide under a nice warm blanket.
