Spartan Rules For Life - The Philosophy of Sparta

The Spartans have been referenced time and time again as a nation of hardened, resilient and Stoic warriors, with a simple philosophy of life.

BECOME A MEMBER:

As a nation Sparta was feared for it's soldiers, and respected for its way of life. In modern say, the Spartans are still held in high regard, and the Spartan helmet and shield still used as a symbol to reflect their values almost 2000 years later.

These quotes help to explain the Spartan philosophy and the mindset of Sparta, a mindset that helps us remain calm, collected and resilient in the face of hardship, adversity, and events that threaten to invade our peace of mind.

Spartan opens up his lunchbox and the note inside says, "Come back with your shield or come back on it" Love Mom

[mixedtwice]

When you fall down you don't think of getting up you just get up

[cryabout.it.]

“Come and take them” hardest line you could possibly say in that situation. 💯

It’s amazing that the Spartans, a war breed in its purest form, actually gave very profound advice on ruling with compassion and sympathy: “Rule over your people as fathers rule over their sons”… “We will be impenetrable as long as none of you consider yourself more important than others…” A reason why the modern politicians all fxxk up

[matejpfajfar]

I like their attitude of "if we can't defeat them, we will at least give them hell before we die".

“The Spartan warrior never asks how many of the enemy there are, but only asks where they are”

[timothysaari]

The requirements to become a Spartan Warrior:
1. Tough as nails
2. Crippling childhood
3. Ability to develop harrowing comeback statements

"Come back you coward that I may kill you twice." A Spartan warrior upon seeing a ghost.

[estoicismobr]

"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity." Great quote for this time.

[thassilokilian]

Let me add:
"Don't be sorry, be better! "
Just a fictional spartan but I still like this quote.

Dear friends, just a small observation - correction if allowed. The answer of Leonida king of Sparta at Xerxes king of Persian Empire in Thermopylae was in fact "MOLON LAVE" (in hellenic grammar "ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ"). The exact meaning of these words in Hellenic (Greek) language is not only "Come and take them" but "Come and take them if you dare"!!! Thank you.

"If" is the most powerful word to a man, if, can change anything and everything. If it happens, it happen, if it does not, it doesnt.

[LostLagrange]

“As a Spartan, return with your shield, or on it, But never without it.”

To return with your shield was to be victorious in life. To return on your shield was to be victorious in death. But to return without your shield meant you lost the battle but were still alive. This was often assumed to mean that they were cowards who lost their shields and fled from combat to save their own lives. Such men are not worthy to call themselves Spartans and will never be considered or respected as such again. And so to the woman of Sparta, they have lost their sons as no true son of Sparta would return without their shield from a victorious battlefield.

I've been contemplating for some years now about why these 'ancient warrior' themes are so attractive to so many of us in contemporary times.
Aside from the horrific realities that inevitably took place, my strongest hypothesis is that we experience a kind of kinship inside these stories. These communities seem intimate when compared to modern times. In today's urban life we see countless faces on a daily basis, but most of us wouldn't take a bullet for them. I'm not suggesting that nobody would do heroic deeds; I'm saying that there's no comradery. I also think that comradery is as rare as wisdom, because it's not something you can just make.
If I'm correct about the sense of comradery, kinship, and intimacy being what we crave from these stories, I can think of one scenario where those elements arose naturally. It would require the decay of modern powerful nations, the promotion of tribes, and the everlasting sense of danger. The bloodshed would harden those who witness it. The high frequency of death would likely make everyone more patient with those tribesmen who annoy us. The scarcity of resources, craftsmen, and strong warriors would be invaluable, therefore everyone *must* pull their weight.

Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting that I want such a risky life. I'm merely speculating what the natural order of mankind may look like.

I came and listened again. My favorite part is actually the old Spartan lecturing the other Grecian that they knew the right thing to do, but didn’t do it. I see this around me every day. People unwilling to give up a seat for women, the elderly, or the infirm. My old man would’ve smacked me, and I would do the same to my kids. Show respect.

Thanks again - liked, shared, and subscribed.

"Should I come as friend or foe"?

"Neither"!

Still the best burn in the history of mankind.
