Quotation of the Day for February 2, 2018



"Hence you see why "liberal studies" are so called; it is because they are studies worthy of a free-born gentleman. But there is only one really liberal study, - that which gives a man his liberty. It is the study of wisdom, and that is lofty, brave, and great-souled. All other studies are puny and puerile."

- Seneca, Moral letters to Lucilius, from Letter 88.
