Socrates

Socrates is credited with laying the foundation of Western philosophical thought. He believed that asking questions and seeking answers will eventually lead to the truth.

After Socrates was convicted and sentenced to death, his decision to drink the poison rather than compromise his belief was a decision of courage. It turned time ahead a thousand years, and gave people then unborn the right to freedom of thought and speech.

The Trial of Socrates is one of the most fascinating trials in human history.

Socrates believed that the greatest discipline of all was the science of finding beauty in all things. When we discover that beauty, we uncover love and gratitude. When we uncover love and gratitide, we are filled with inspiration. When we are inspired, we readily find ourselves preserving to manifest our dreams.
