    I think, from left to right, Socrates, Jesus, I'm really not sure (I want to say Buddha just because of where we are, but I've never seen him depicted that way), Lao Tzu, and Mother Teresa.

    Wow! 4 out of 5! Wonderful Fruit Punch!

    Zeus? :p

    Hint: he WAS an old Greek guy/philosopher who wanted to do away with all his desires. So he got it down to just one possession, a cup. One day he saw a woman getting water to drink with just her hands. . . so he threw away his cup.

    Ah. Diogenes. I guessed Socrates because it reminded me of this picture: http://flowstate.homestead.com/files/socrates.jpg

    Yes, Diogenes. Guess all those old Greek guys wore loose robes.

    Diogenes - get rid of desires and material possessions
    Jesus - love and forgiveness
    Dalai Lama - humble enlightened Buddhist monk
    Confucious - wisdom
    Mother Teresa - serve others
