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.
“Two men looked out of prison bars — one saw mud, the other stars.”

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
