This quote - “Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people”- which is often attributed to Socrates, will always be true. In a world where things are always changing, trends go viral, and conversations never end, it quietly makes us think about how well we think and talk. The quote makes a clear but strong difference between three types of conversations: about ideas, events, and people. It doesn't hurt anyone, but it does point in the right direction for growth. This quote makes people stop and think because these days, social media and everyday conversations are often about what other people think. It asks a simple question: what do we talk about, and what does that say about how we think? This idea is still important not only in philosophy but also in everyday life, at work, and in relationships.

Diligently follow the path of two swords as one. Percieve that which the eye cannot see. Seek the truth in all things. Do not engage in useless activity.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
