Room Three

Credos

What do people actually believe? This room gathers the personal credos, spiritual perspectives, and considered beliefs of thinkers ancient and modern — ideas worth sitting with, whether you share them or not.

Frederick Langbridge

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Socrates

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

Aristotle
