The man named Philip Massinger, has little to no facts about his life. He was born in 1583 which can only mean, the older they are the harder it is to find facts about them. But so far what I've found is he was the only boy out of 5 children. His father's name was Arthur Massinger, who got a master's degree from Oxford, and was a trusted servent of many people. Sir Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Sir William Herbert, and the 3rd Earl of Pembroke were the men he was a servent of. He died in 1603. It is also known that Philip wrote many plays in his lifetime. Philip was found dead on March 18th, 1640, and was buried at what is now known as the Southwark Cathedral. Which if anyone is interested is located in London, and has been known to be there since 606 A.D.
Philip's quote today says, "He that would govern others, first should be master of himself." This quote sounds a lot like other quotes I have heard off of movies and such. Pretty much meaning, if you are to direct others you must first master oneself. I like this quote because I find it true. I myself could say that I have always followed this quote, simply because I don't feel comfortable directing someone on what to do, unless I know what I'm doing. That could be on several levels, work, relationship issues, a simple problem. I would suggest that you take this quote into consideration yourselves, because it is very valuable.
The word for the day is Luminous which means, Glowing or giving off light.
