The Teachings of the Classics

What are the truths we hold to be self-evident?
The lines are drawn. Are you aware of this line between us?
You should be. You wanted to do the right thing, and did the wrong thing. He is
not wise who never makes mistakes, he is wise who makes mistakes and puts them
right.

This world is a house of flames. We know that those who fight must know how to
fight and how not to fight; to tell the truth and not to tell the truth; to be
servile and also how not to be servile; to keep one’s promises and also not to
keep them; how to confront a danger, how to avoid danger; to be known by sight
and unknown. Suffering isn’t enough. It is not enough but learn still. You must
be ready to take over. The ground is made of gold. Oh! gracious vision, flooding
the heart with joy! All the world will be our own.

What is a man? In our view, the principal characteristic of man is that he has
the freedom to choose love. This is the “Easy Way.” Tonight the time has come
to enter the Way most hard to find. We have a world to gain. A blessed hope
springs up on us! All of the world is of our making. What of it can we call
ours? Above the temple hangs the moon. If the moon is an old friend, how can we
flee the world? No more the grief of parting. The night is growing old!

We invite you to eat with us. Only these hands now acting, build the road, the
walls, the towers. We are the scum of the earth. We shall free the world of
shadow; every shop and every room, every road and every meadow. The fleeting
world exists no more. Long is the way a ghost must tread. We are asking for
your verdict.
