Pericles challenged the citizens of Athens to "fix your eyes every day on the greatness of Athens" and remember that her greatness was won by men who "knew their duty, had the courage to act, and were ashamed to fall below a certain standard."
More than two thousand years later, the lesson remains.
A great nation does not endure because of its monuments, wealth, or power. It endures because each generation produces men and women willing to uphold the standards that built it.
We honor our forefathers not merely by admiring them, but by proving ourselves worthy of their inheritance.
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
“Read books. Travel when you can. Learn how to cook one meal exceptionally well. Sit in old bars and talk to strangers. Wear your best jacket to dinner. Appreciate good wine, good music, and good conversation. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Set the example for younger men who are watching you. Call your parents. Take long walks. Leave your phone behind sometimes. Become the kind of man people feel better after being around. Life is short, so live it well.”
-J.B. Lloyd
