Here we portray the wisdom of the
ancient Greek philosophers, relevant even today. It is interesting to point out
that many of the quotes below sound Christian, therefore we observe that many
of the below philosophers are sometimes iconized in churches in the Greek
Orthodox World.
According to my opinion, the
wealth of the state is its allies, the trust and the love of its allies.
