I examine ancient wisdom in order to apply it to modern times, which, if done successfully, infuses it with a fresh burst of life.  

Without application, wisdom rots away as poetic-sounding theory.

    This is true. In fact I read somewhere that the only wisdom you should follow is the one that has survived the test of the time.

      I’d go even further and say the stuff that has survived the test of an honest personal effort.

    I think if ideas are to be taken seriously, they should be put into everyday practice! I get a great deal of inspiration reading the wisdom of ancients too — especially the Stoics, and more recently, the masters of Zen.

      A lot of their teachings dovetail into the same message. I totally agree with you!

    Solomon said that. There is nothing new under the sun, but it sure as heck helps if the old things are brought forth in a fresh manner and people pay attention this time!

      Indeed! I think it’s kind of necessary, and I think it happens naturally with successful people who might not even have any idea of these lessons.
