"By philosophy we can live wisely and die well. Those who perfect themselves in wisdom are called twice-born, for by wisdom, man is given a new birth. He departs from the old life with its uncertainties and limitations into a new illumined existence. Love rules the sphere of the wise. Those who have learned to love life in its deepest and most mystical senses have escaped from bondage of fear and dwell in peace with all things." - Manly Hall, The Theosophist (First Principle)
