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.

#quotes #philosophy #sparta #spartan
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
If you actually read about history, most war breeds were very philosophical in many cultures
it probably has to do with morale, you have to create a really specific kind of society and push very specific values to make war-ing constantly like actually be feasable, like if they hadnt built their entire culture around it, if kids werent instilled with these ideas of honor glory valor courage comradery and on and on then their society wouldve died much quicker, their whole society was tough, the idea that your MOM of all people would tell you something like "Come back with your shield or come back on it", its basically a threat, because if you come back alive without your shield, for one you will never be seen with respect again, youre no longer a spartan and your mother will most likely disown you, its brutal.
@@comandantethorn9929 It is brutal in one perspective, totally. But if you want to really really extreme expression of some value, it has to be like that. And if one has innerstood that one is spiritual being and death is not the ultimate bad thing, it might help understand the more caring side of the idea too. And that kind of extremes also makes men to value their womens to the extreme.
@@juusopollari8858 i mean yeah but its brutal either way, it works in their society because everything in their society is build like that, in the here and now saying something like that is kinda emotional abuse- like you cant threaten your child with disowning them for something as difficult to define as "honor" or "glory"
@@comandantethorn9929 Yea, and much of The wisdom in this video is 100% applicable in their culture and lifestyle. But they are very good guidlines, for anyone looking to practice discipline.
“Come and take them” hardest line you could possibly say in that situation. 💯

“If” the most bad ass response to a threat ever

1. Tough as nails
2. Crippling childhood
3. Ability to develop harrowing comeback statements

That's me. Number one is debatable I guess.

It was both a challenge and a warning. Sparta most definitely would have joined that fight.
Hence the word Laconic when referring to succinct replies, no wasted words.
And Phillip chose not to invade Sparta
Supposedly he wrote to them again, asking if they would rather he come to Sparta as an ally or enemy. They replied with "Neither"
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.
After some research, i found out it actually means" Try hard/Work hard to get them" , not just "Come" as we say.
@@etnoscope3966 when you speak Greek, we'll debate it.
Hence transliterating to "Come And Get It"
Less laconic but perhaps more accurate.

"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.

Who knew Steve O became a philosopher after Jackass?
shortest way to express uncertainty. two alphabets, one syllable and it represents the collective of infinite possibilities. a fcking genius conjured that word.
“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.
Aaahh i see thank you for sharing this. I was wondering what it meant
@@isaacmonson4403 they could still lose and retreat, but dropping your shield mean you ran in panic abandoning formation. As stated in another quote, you can drop your helmet and breastplate. Those where meant to your own protection, and are not a shameful lost in retreat. Abandoning your shield, meant to sacrifice the safety of the man besides you, just to run a little faster. Return with your shield, or on it.
@rashid ibn Camel ibn Arab
They were raised the right way.
Unlike the corruption today.
Every real soldier fights to lay his arms down in peace.. you need to fight for peace when your enemy is fighting against your peace.
@@gantzllat exactly. Death is preferred to abandoning the protection of your brothers, death happens and your protection of your brothers come above all, because if you fail your brothers, the army fails, if the army fails Sparta fails and everyone dies.... Deserting your friends and brothers in their deepest struggle is unforgivable, it means you should never come home.
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.

“Spartans what is your profession!” Send shivers up my spine

We all know that's just Hollywood fluff, but it stands true that the same was for them, as is for many today that say they are this are that they are that, until someone comes along that PROVES that they are not only this an that, but that that they are because they BREATHE it everyday, and DIE for it!
@@Chase_baker_1996 “UwU UwU UwU!”
This quote resonates with our modern geocentric times.
"It was natural for [Spartan women] to think and speak as Gorgo, the wife of Leonidas, is said to have done, when some foreign lady, as it would seem, told her that the women of Lacedaemon were the only women of the world who could rule men; "with good reason," she said, "for we are the only women who bring forth men"
Now, what I get from that quote is that Gorgo is telling the woman that Spartan women have the freedoms they have because they give birth to real men who aren't threatened by them.
In the 300 film they had Gorgo tell this to a man instead of a woman because they wanted it to be directed towards men for feminist empowerment, but it was actually directed towards women because it is them who misunderstood how Spartan women move with their men: they know their role.
idk why but i love the "for we are the only women who bring forth men" part, its like basically saying "yeah men are fundamental for our society, but men aint shit without us"
@@comandantethorn9929 Yeah, and a lot of modern women think that way but what Gorgo was telling the Lacedaemon woman when she was bragging about how they rule over their men Gorgo replied: "with good reason," she said, "for we (Spartan women) are the only women who bring forth men"
I believe she was actually saying "Your men are weak and lust driven, our men are willing to die for what they believe in." Which is essentially insulting both their men AND women because whose responsibility is it to give birth and raise men? Especially at the time? You guessed it!
Enemy: You’re surrounded! Outnumbered! Out gunned! There is no hope for you to survive! Surrender!
Spartans: *chuckling like drunk children*
No... they say... "Nuts!" as was done at Bastogne.
We're surrounded. We got them right where we want them boys
@@annaliselovespie Chesty Puller!
My ancestors (Spartans) have the mindset that when They are called to a battle they didnt say "How many are they" (referred to the enemy) but They say "Where are they" cause Spartan Law is "Never retreat, Never Surrender" which means even in a battle that death is near, you stand fight with the might you got and say "You might kill me but I will drag you all down with me"
That mindset is given to them by the Agoge (Spartans education program)
It is written that ONLY THE HARD ONLY THE STRONG can call themselves Spartans
More like...when aren't we...this is Friday night for us.
I definitely Liked the " Then we Shall have our Battle... In the Shade "... Line...wow!!
I am last generation of Greeks taught ancient Greek language x6 years , grew up in ancient Sparta playing at King Leonidas tomb with the other kids .This brings back memories I am very fond of .
Ή τάν ή επί τάς
Here I am Here you are??
that "if" just went through my spine

Where is that from?
Death before dishonor.
I remember watching a video a while back, but the apparently the actual context about the arrows will block out the sun. It didn't come as a threat, one of the Spartans was telling a general about how the Persian army is so massive that their arrows would block out the sun. The general replied was thanking the soldier for the good news that he could let his men know instead of fighting in the hot sun they get to fight in the shade.
"You come with the heads and crowns of conquered kings to my city steps, you insult my queen, you threaten my people with slavery and death.. ooh i've chosen my words carefully Persian.. perhaps you should have done the same"
And what he said to the Persian (in reality) was, "You want earth and water? Go get them yourself" as he kicked him down the well!
@@deafsmith1006
Interesting he murdered diplomats, messengers which was as it is a dishonourable crime of the worst kind
@@thodan467 You come and threaten my family with slavery and death (has his nation was done) and well.... that was the appropriate response. Back then it was common to send messages back via the heads of the messengers. "Come in peace, or leave in pieces."
@@deafsmith1006
No, they diskutiert absolutely Not, they jemandes the Navigation of the spartanisch state , Not the homoioi with Personal enslavement.
It's Not that unlikely that for Mist or at least many spartans that could've brought Note Rights, Liberty and Freedom.
The Murder of Ambassador s or Murder na their händ was frowned upon by the Law of man and gods
@@thodan467 It may have been 'frowned upon' but the message was sent. Oh, and these 'Rights, Liberty, and Freedom', do they not 'frowned upon' enslavement and mass murder of a City State (Sparta)?
After all that was the threat the ambassador sent to the King of Sparta, right? Well he got his answer.
My favorite quote is actually from the correspondence before or after the famous "IF" reply.
They received a letter along the lines of: "If we come to your city, would you rather we come as friends or as enemies?"
The Spartans replied with: "Neither."
That's another great quote!
Sometimes one has to walk away to do what is in their best interest
Life is never easy but on has to keep moving forward even when one will be on their own.

I have studied a philosophy as well and thing’s that you’re sharing is like giving a water to my thirst soul.
Philosophy is not for everyone, either you born with it or not, and there’s a thin line between knowledge and wisdom. I have been writing more than 100 quotes and it will be shared one day on UA-cam.
I have a good voice as well, that’s what people tell me:) however you’re dancing at the top of mountain when it comes to to that. My favorite philosophy is Nietzsche and it took me years to understand such a mind. “In loneliness the lonely one eats himself; in crowds many eat him.” Now choose ??!?
Nietzsche
I also feel alone among 100 people, instead of being with them …I choose to be alone, in that my time doesn’t become stolen by masses.
Great job from you and I share and recommend to people in Sweden. And I really wish that I had discovered your channel earlier.
However I think the Universe didn’t give me this before, obviously I had to go through a few things before:)
The nature never gives anything for free unfortunately.

"It is not in our very nature to follow others into battle"
Sparta never accepted to join a war without being the leader of the allied forces.
And they lost a lot of respect and friends from it.
@@kagato23 Maybe, but when SHTF, all those that DIDN'T Respect, UNANIMOUSLY AGREED that they would not go to war (as with the Persians) unless Lacedaemon (Sparta) was leading it.
@@MR-nl8xr then Alexander the Great did it anyway, and when he sent shit back to Athens said “all the Greeks EXCEPT SPARTANS” send these treasures home. Then the Persians hired the Spartans when he kept going against them. He kicked their ass, killed their king, and said “you won’t join? Better join now.” They joined. By this point since citizenship could only be inherited, the Spartans were massively outnumbered by their slaves. There wasn’t even a big rebellion so much as people just left and they didn’t have the numbers to make them get back in line. Turns out only being warriors means your fucked when the farmer just say “no.” Spartans were a failed model.
@@kagato23 You are talking about a different time than I am. 300 bc (the time of Alexander) was no longer the "real" Sparta, by then the Battle of Leuctra had already sealed the fate of Lacedaemon and introduced a new generation of Spartan soldiers that were not much like the "original" Lacedaemons (Spartans).
Also I have no idea who you were saying did what after your first sentence, so, w/e.
It is cowardice to hide behind those who you do not know. Stand alone, and step forth into the abyss. Never look back, until the darkness submits to your will.

Awesome really. Looking at it for the first time. These are tremendous life lessons.

"Come back with your shield, or come back on it."
Thinking back on the incredible nobility Spartans had is amazing. Now that these are modern times, that will never happen due to the level of distrust in race, sex, religion, beliefs, etc. Hell, talking even divides people.

To the World, surviving battles and war is seen as a victory in and of itself. But for the Spartans, survival in combat just meant that you live to die another day.
Masterful work!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
thanks bro... sometimes weve got lost in our ways.... youve brought me back.
No worries, glad I could help 🙏
@@OrionPhilosophy you've got me on my feet., Bro sometimes all we need is a word... Gratitude on healing me
I was never close with my dad until I chose to live with him. And it was definitely a wake up call. No getting out of jail free card here. That dude was fucking ruthless. My entire family is a different breed now that I think of it. Straight up turned me into a monster. All about your discipline.
I didn’t realise these things were actually said, impressive!
🙏
Imagine how much more was said and done. The Greeks were very good and the first to chronicle history, but much of it still was lost to time unfortunately we only have a sliver of it today.
This filled me with pride

Thanks! Great video pal. Love a bit of Education. Love Our History.
Glad you enjoyed it
Because I submit to injustice. . . Valuable lesson, things may not always be fair, life is not fair, but it can still be good.
🙌
the difference between having a bodyguard is that you either know what you're doing, or you take for granted a good service to your fellow being, thus the reason why those who do good deeds and are loved by all the righteous don't need to be protected by any individuals provided... but the people will rise up in the anguish of their falling.
So good!
Right now this will help me to survive until tomorrow morning. I'm in a nightmare state and definitely in the middle of an emotional and psychological war. I need to remain in a Spartan mindset if I am going to live to see tomorrow. Then I'll survive the next day and so on until the battle is over and I return triumphant. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 No retreat no surrender this is Spartan law.
Will you please provide a link or a name for the background music in this video? Thank you in advance!
Phillip II of Macedon, “If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again.”
Spartans, “If.”
😳
And he did invade them and crushed them and slayed their king 😂🤡
Brilliant, thank you.
You're very welcome!
Much needed.
🙏
