Almost done with my timeline! #excited

While working on this timeline it's interesting to see how much these readings have influenced western culture

The second wall he describes as "tottering and weak" this is b/c they pretend to be the "masters of the scriptures"

Temporal baptism is "baptized as we are and has the same faith and gospel"

Wow I respect queen Elizabeth for the way she overcame such hostility and became one of the greatest rulers of all time

@AbbyPost3 very true...I definitely noticed that when reading and also that there were so many requirements in order to achieve perfection

A prince should strive for a good reputation...shouldn't everyone strive for that?

It's weird that a prince should learn how not to be good and to use goodness

According to machiavelli,the only thing that should be on a princes mind is war. Was war that important back then?

Music is essential for a courtier

Castiglioneis right on when saying that by nature we are all we are all fonder of praise than we should be #truth

There is a middle state between perfect grace and senseless folly

We each have our own excellences...might that be music,writing,sports,art,math or science, we all excel in different areas

But aren't we all born by the hands of God and He has given each one of us different forms of excellences?

It intrigues me that castiglione believes men with more excellence were born by the very hands of a god and adorned them w/ this excellence

I never thought of the peace that God gives us is that man might ascend into heaven and become angels #interesting

Pico sees God as a generous God because he has given man the choice to do whatever he wills

Man is so greatly admired because he is seen as a miracle

Pico views man as the mediator

Pico lived what was known as the " ideal youth"
