Arrian Continued

The Common Reader continues to share wonderful insights into Arrian's work. Go to the main page and look back over the last several days--the work is wonderful, the insights worthwhile.  Would that we all took the time to go back and read and learn from these classics.

How Would You Like to Receive a Letter That Begins Like This?

from "The Letter to Menoeceus" Epicurus Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he is grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
