50 AD for a somewhat relevant post... that's going to be tough to beat.
- lunaru 17y ago6th century BC - The Art of War - relevant to leadership & entrepreneurship in competitive markets. Edit: Human history is full of interesting "posts". If only we had the time to absorb all the wisdoms of times passed.
- lionhearted 17y ago> The Art of War If you like the Art of War at all, you simply must read von Clauswitz's On War: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_War#Synopsis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_War#Synopsis At least read the first 20 pages. An incredibly clear, insightful thinker. He was an utter perfectionist, he worked on the book for decades and died with it incomplete, but the beginning in particular is precisely accurate and insightful like almost nothing else I've read.
- wushupork 17y agoJulius Caesar's got some good quotes: It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life. It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking. As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can. Cowards die many times before their actual deaths. and that's between 100BC and 44BC
- michaelkeenan 17y agoI think that last one was Shakespeare: "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act II, sc. ii (1599)
