Søren Kierkegaard
“Only the one who descends into the underworld rescues the beloved.”
Soren Kierkegaard

Will Durant
“The older Romans used temples as their banks, as we use banks as our temples;”
Will Durant, Caesar and Christ

Plato
“Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful.”
Plato

David  Brooks
“wisdom isn’t a body of information. It’s the moral quality of knowing what you don’t know and figuring out a way to handle your ignorance, uncertainty, and limitation.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character

Will Durant
“We frolic in our emancipation from theology, but have we developed a natural ethic—a moral code independent of religion—strong enough to keep our instincts of acquisition, pugnacity, and sex from debasing our civilization into a mire of greed, crime, and promiscuity? Have we really outgrown intolerance, or merely transferred it from religious to national, ideological, or racial hostilities?”
Will Durant, The Lessons of History
