• The science, the art, the jurisprudence, the chief political and social theories, of the modern world have grown out of Greece and Rome-not by favour of, but in the teeth of, the fundamental teachings of early Christianity, to which science, art, and any serious occupation with the things of this world were alike despicable.

• El cristianismo mejoró la noción de responsabilidad política y social proporcionando un nuevo modelo: el del liderazgo de servicio. En las antiguas Grecia y Roma nadie habría soñado con considerar a los líderes políticos servidores de nadie. El trabajo del líder era dirigir. Pero Cristo inventó la noción de que la forma de liderar es sirviendo a las necesidades de los demás, especialmente de los más necesitados.

• Great cycles of history began with vigorous cultures awakening to the needs of children, but collapsing with frayed family ties. Have we failed to learn lessons which Ancient China, Greece and Rome learned too late - about day care and death houses for old folks? Do we without protest accept accelerating preschool and nursing home cultures which warn ominously that the earlier you institutionalize your child, the earlier he will institutionalize you!

  Raymond S. Moore

• English literature, from the days of the minstrels to the Lake Poets,--Chaucer and Spenser and Milton, and even Shakespeare, included,--breathes no quite fresh and, in this sense, wild strain. It is an essentially tame and civilized literature, reflecting Greece and Rome. Her wildness is a greenwood, her wild man a Robin Hood. There is plenty of genial love of Nature, but not so much of Nature herself. Her chronicles inform us when her wild animals, but not the wild man in her, became extinct.

• Creo que el agua es la única bebida para un hombre sabio: el vino no es un licor tan noble; ¡y piensa en frustrar las esperanzas de una mañana con una taza de café caliente, o de una noche con un plato de té! ¡Ah, qué bajo caigo cuando me tientan! Incluso la música puede ser embriagadora. Causas tan aparentemente leves destruyeron Grecia y Roma, y destruirán Inglaterra y América.

• Oh, cuando estoy a salvo en mi hogar selvático,
  me burlo del orgullo de Grecia y Roma;
  Y cuando estoy estirado bajo los pinos
  Cuando brilla la estrella de la tarde tan sagrada,
  me río de la sabiduría y el orgullo del hombre,
  De las escuelas de sofistas y del clan erudito;
  Pues qué son todos ellos en su alta presunción,
  cuando el hombre puede encontrarse con Dios en la espesura?

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

• The United States, or the American Republic, has a mission, and is chosen of God for the realization of a great idea. It has been chosen not only to continue the work assigned to Greece and Rome, but to accomplish a greater work than was assigned to either. In art, it will prove false to its mission if it do not rival Greece; and in science and philosophy, if it do not surpass it. In the State, in law, in jurisprudence, it must continue and surpass Rome.

• We don't usually think of what we eat as a matter of ethics. Stealing, lying, hurting people - these acts are obviously relevant to our moral character. In ancient Greece and Rome, ethical choices about food were considered at least as significant as ethical choices about sex.
