Plato: Letters to my Son
An eagle's old age is
better than the youth of a sparrow. Greek proverb
If ever I have achieved anything that might outlive
me, it was not for the support and encouragement of my ageing uncles or anyone
else in my family, but because I had the courage - they might say the temerity - to
resist and defy them whenever they tried to return me to the hackneyed path
that I had chosen to leave, and that, in the end, led to their perdition.

that I had chosen to leave, and that, in the end, led to their perdition. The
hardest thing in life is not to have a vision, for even my uncles once had a
vision, but to live it out, to make the hard choices, for the greater good,
whatever the costs might seem.
