I hope the plebes will read it several times and think long and hard about it. My wife and I moved to Italy in 2003 and bought a 15th century house that needed a lot of renovation and TLC. The highest point of the living room ceiling is 28 feet above the floor and is frescoed with images of the four cardinal virtues that were admired by the Colonna family who commissioned them. The virtues are Fortitude, Justice, Temperance, and Prudence. Prudence is represented by a woman holding a mirror to her face. My interpretation is that it is prudent to know yourself in solitude before and while you interact with others. Marcantonio Colonna (the Italian commander during the battle of Lepanto) would have agreed with Mr. Deresiewicz.Niels T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01287299849191970106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004611408106715980.post-67586312458619465012010-04-17T13:05:05.305-04:002010-04-17T13:05:05.305-04:00Wow!

When we fret about America today and wonder whom we will get to lead us out of the mess created, we often wonder how is it, that our Founders got it together. How did they out think and defeat the greatest power in the world in their time, and how did they summon the very courage necessary to accomplish their goals? This is must reading for all true leaders in this country. Thanks Mr Dunn, for passing on these great, great, inspiring words.<br /><br />Jim Strohmeier<br />ColoradoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939124437773603276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004611408106715980.post-39961712076937434692010-04-17T08:57:53.834-04:002010-04-17T08:57:53.834-04:00Great read.
