Civilization, civilian, civil. – all those words come from Citta in Sanskrit
Citta means the deep mind.
Lincoln said:
“Rightness is provided with the instruments of safety by the heavens.”
Three men founded Western culture; above all others.
Parmenides, Pythagoras and Empedocles.
Through them the arts, law, the natural sciences and Western philosophy, their foundations were laid.
In the line by Lincoln, one sees a man aligned with those foundations.
