The Greeks Said it First – 6 Ancient Greek Philosophers of Greece and their Quotes
Each time we turn on our computers, we are bombarded with quotes, with images, with “inspirational cards” (Facebook is full of them!). We have “Life coaches” telling us to be” Mindful” to have a “Mindset”. “Mindfulness” It seems to be the “New religion” Authors are at it, Gurus are at it, it seems like every Tom, Dick and Harry is at it! Sorry to tell you this folks, but it’s all been said and done before, thousands of years before, by the Greeks, specifically, the Greek philosophers. Philosophy: The love of wisdom So search no further, just read what those wily, wise men of Athens had to say. They knew what was what! 1. Demosthenes “Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.” What we hear today as: “Small steps”, or, ‘start small and grow”. 2.

Did you know though, how many useful inventions, still in use today, have ancient Greek origins? Yes! The Greeks did it first (and better!), and here are twenty amazing Greek inventions to prove it! In no particular order 1. Alarm clock Ctesibius’ water clock, as visualized by the 17th-century French architect Claude Perrault The alarm clock or water clock (which didn’t seem to catch on with the Greeks who are renowned for their tardiness!), was used to measure time, and also to make sure speeches given in the courtroom, or by long-winded politicians didn’t go on forever! Called a clepsydra (water thief), this was the most accurate clock in the world up until the use of the pendulum. Invented […]
