"I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can...And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same...I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict."

~ Socrates, 5th century bce Greek philosopher from The Gorgias

How beautiful is that?

Remember to take part in the great combat, my friend.
