"Build up virtue, and you master all."
~ Lao-tzu, 6th century bce Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism from Tao Te Ching
The Greeks said the same thing. They taught that living with virtue was the key to happiness.
Their word for "virtue"?
Areté.
"Build up Areté, and you master all."

“Brian, your PhilosophersNotes are an idea whose time has come — primarily because you're the one who is writing them. Your life to this point has prepared you for this creative contribution.”
“In this information age, knowledge is as plentiful as fast food, wisdom as precious as a home cooked meal. Knowledge is mindlessly poured into troughs; wisdom preciously served one ladle at a time with delight. It’s knowledge we have, but wisdom we seek. Knowledge informs; wisdom transforms.
As for PhilosophersNotes, it’s Wisdom that Meister Brian Johnson so generously serves here. The sort of wisdom that can only be revealed by a true modern day Philosopher gloriously in the throws of discovery, in service to the world. My advice to you: step on! Take this ride of a lifetime with Brian and benefit from this master’s passionate search for truth and wisdom.”
"Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else." ~ Mevlana Rumi
