“[If there is any blame for losing Aristotle, it belongs to Greek philosophy itself, not to the Christianity Freeman blames.] In the course of a few centuries ... simply dispersed, allowing Aristotle's works to fall into an undeserved neglect.”
Aristotle
“Should it be said that the Greeks discovered philosophy by human wisdom, I reply that I find the Scriptures declare all wisdom to be a divine gift”
Clement of Rome
“If you take a look back, our basic educational system is based on the Greek system. To the Greeks, PE and music were the two curriculum areas that they held as most important. It has to be balanced.”
Dean Gorby
“The ancient oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing.”
Socrates
“I said it in Hebrew - I said it in Dutch - / I said it in German and Greek; / But I wholly forgot (and it vexes me much) / That English is what you speak!”
Lewis Carroll
“Themosticles said "The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you”
Plutarch
“Here Greek and Roman find themselves alive along these crowded shelves; and Shakespeare treads again his stage, and Chaucer paints anew his age.”
John Greenleaf Whittier
