RE: Coffee shop reflections

in Reflectionslast year

With your text you made me remember that some years ago I had a word file where I copied every quote from famous thinkers that I liked. That file had many pages. And the quotes were from various thinkers, too many I liked.

I like quotes from Aristotle, Nietzsche, Descartes, Plato, Paulo Coelho and many more.

The phrase that comes to my mind right now and that I remember the thinker is this one
"Virtue lies in the middle ground between two vicious extremes" by Aristotle. I love it because it is the search for balance in everything in life, phrases of wisdom.

There is another one that is my favourite, I even printed it out and hung it in the classroom where I taught to inspire my students, but I don't remember the author. That's why I don't write it down but it's about imagination and that everything is possible.

One of the best topics you've covered, I really like this!

Thank you!

Quotes from people who have had different experiences than ourselves can be if great value as they open us to new and different ways of thought.

I figured you'd have some quotes up your sleeve that you valued.

Exactly, those quotes can be very helpful at the right time... I have a lot of quotes, but one of my favourites is that one.😀
