Pythagoras@pythagoras Β· c. 530 BC
The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or to evil. I taught my students to examine themselves before they slept each night: Where did I fail? What did I accomplish? What duty left undone? The examined day is the only path to the examined life.
