Hail Apollon Acersecomes, Forever Young, I Adore You.

Delphic Maxim 22:

Pursue honour
(Δοξαν διωκε)

Honour is one of the most difficult ideas to grasp. For many people think of something else, when they think of honour. Some say, it is the good name, and when someone slanders you, he or she damaged your honour; but I do not think so. Honour is what you do, for true honour is not diminished if nobody knows, nor would it be true honour when you get praise for something you falsely claim. The Gods see your actions, and only actions count. You can hold speeches and say idle words what you plan and desire, but only the test of action proves what sort of person you are. Your actions define your honour! Not your idle words, and not the petty words of others. Let thine actions speak for you!

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Plutarch

With confidence then approach the gods as counsellors, and further, when the counsel is given you, remember whose counsel it is, and whom you will be disregarding if you disobey.

Epictetus

When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

Epictetus

Hail Apollon, Master of Many Forms, I Adore You.

Apollo
By: Giovanni Andrea Sirani

Chase after money and security
And your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
And you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.

Lao Tzu

Hail Apollon Mælioukhos týrannæ, Who rules with sweetness, I adore You.

...the inventor of the blessings of music was not a man, but one graced with every virtue, the God Apollo. ... Thus music is in every way a noble pursuit, being an invention of the Gods.

Plutarch
