The word philosopher comes from an Ancient Greece word meaning “lover of wisdom”. We could all probably be a little more like that. The quest for knowledge can be a great thing. Two very famous philosophers who live in the place and times of ancient Greece offered us some very sage advice. Many of their writing did not survive, but what did survive has passed the test of time. Apparently they were also friends. They studied many different things like politics, ethics, science and logic. Check out some of these quotes and decide who it came from Aristotle or Plato.
