John
1:1
In the beginning was the Word [Logos],
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him;
and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the
light of men.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness
comprehended it not.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again
unto them, saying,
I am
the light of the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in
darkness,
but shall have the light
of life. |
Gen. 1:1 In the beginning
God
created the heaven and the earth.
Gen. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the [Breath] of God
moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen. 1:3 And God said [Amar], Let
there be light: and there was light.
Gen. 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God
divided the light from the darkness. |

-Iliad 7.442
Thus were they toiling, the long-haired Achaeans; and the gods, as they sat by
the side of Zeus, the lord of the lightning,
marvelled at the great work of the brazen-coated Achaeans.
[445] And among them Poseidon, the Shaker of Earth, was first
to speak: Father Zeus,
is there now anyone of mortals on the face of the boundless earth, that
will any more declare to the immortals his mind and
counsel?
-Isocrates 4.[43]
Now the founders of our great festivals are justly praised for handing
down to us a custom by which, having proclaimed a truce [peace
of god]
and resolved our pending quarrels, we come together in one place,
where, as we make our prayers and sacrifices in common, we are reminded
of the kinship which exists among us and are made to feel more kindly
towards each other for the future, reviving our old friendships and
establishing new ties. 3 [44] And
neither to common men nor to those of superior gifts is the time so
spent idle and profitless, but in the concourse of the Hellenes
the latter have the opportunity to display their prowess, the former to
behold these contending against each other in the games; and no one
lacks zest for the festival, but all find in it that which flatters
their pride,
-Xenophon 4.5.[7]
Thus, then, the Persians employed their time; but the Medes drank and revelled
and listened to the music of the flute and
indulged
themselves to the full with all sorts of merry-making. For many things
that contribute to pleasure had been captured, so that those who stayed
awake were at no loss for something to do.
-Thelema
-Matt 7.[21]
Not everyone who says to me,
'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does
the will of my Father who is in heaven.
[22] Many
will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name,
in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' [23]
Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work
iniquity.'
-Esther 1.8 The drinking was according to the law;
none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of
his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1105b.20 A state of the soul is either （l） an emotion, （2） a

three things.
[2]
By the emotions, I mean desire, anger,
fear, confidence, envy, joy, friendship, hatred, longing, jealousy, pity; and generally
those states of consciousness which are accompanied by pleasure or pain.
[3]
Now the virtues and vices are not emotions because we are not pronounced good or bad
according to our emotions, but we are according to our virtues and vices; nor are we
either praised or blamed for our emotionsa man is not praised for being
frightened or angry, nor is he blamed for being angry merely, but for being angry in a
