Which of Plato's writing 
did this quote come from:
 
“Perfect wisdom has four parts, viz., 
wisdom, the principle of doing things aright;
 justice, the principle of doing things 
equally in public and private; 
fortitude, the principle of not flying danger, 
but meeting it; 
and temperance, the principle of subduing desires 
and living moderately.”

“Society has provided [children] no rituals 
by which they become members of the tribe,

All children need to be twice born, 
to learn to function rationally in the present world, 
leaving childhood behind.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

-------------- BOOK REVIEW -------------- 
 
I'M PROUD TO POST THIS REVIEW FROM MY BRO.!
 
THE LIGHT IN THE GARDEN BOOK REVIEW
 
The Light in the Garden is great read! 
This book opens up an amazingly different viewpoint 
of chapters two and three of Genesis. 
 It breaks down the whole story of Adam and Eve 
in a way that finally makes sense. 
 
Throughout my whole life,
 I viewed the Bible in a different light. 
Recently I've read many books that helped me
 understand the allegory within it. 
This was so important to me and my understanding. 
Why? Much of the Good Book is written in allegories 
that have been severely misinterpreted. 
 
The Light in the Garden helps with this in many ways. 
It breaks down two short chapters of the Bible 
and brings the words found within them to life 
by adding definitions, meanings and interpretations that make sense 
-- more sense than most of the typical explanations 
offered up to the general public. 
It is a great and enjoyable read as well 
and I recommend it to anyone, 
even if you question your religion. 
 
As an aside, 
I don’t believe the Good Book should be read literally. 
I still believe in Christianity, 
but I also believe that the writers of these Biblical books 
embedded symbolism that characterizes our lives. 
The Light in the Garden helped me better understand 
this symbolism and what it actually points toward. 
 
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. 
I thank Coach (Bro) for his insight.
