The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage  (Thucydides Quotes) History is Philosophy teaching by example  (Thucydides Quotes) The secret of happiness is freedom  (Thucydides Quotes) Peace is an armistice in a war that is continuously going on  (Thucydides Quotes) The secret of freedom, courage  (Thucydides Quotes) Hope, danger’s comforter  (Thucydides Quotes) The secret of freedom, courage....  (Thucydides Quotes) War is a matter not so much of arms as of money  (Thucydides Quotes) Contempt for an assailant is best shown by bravery in action  (Thucydides Quotes) We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them  (Thucydides Quotes) A collision at sea can ruin your entire day  (Thucydides Quotes) Of all manifestations of power, restraint impresses men most  (Thucydides Quotes) The whole earth is the sepulchre of famous men  (Thucydides Quotes) It is from the greatest dangers that the greatest glory is to be won  (Thucydides Quotes) Amassing of wealth is an opportunity for good deeds, not hubris  (Thucydides Quotes) He who graduates the harshest school, succeeds  (Thucydides Quotes) It is men who make a city, not walls or ships  (Thucydides Quotes) But what most oppressed them was that they had two wars at once, and has thus reached a pitch of frenzy which no one would have believed possible if he had heard of it before it had come to pass  (Thucydides Quotes) ...knowing the secret of happiness to be freedom, and the secret of freedom a brave heart, not idly to stand aside from the enemy’s onset  (Thucydides Quotes) Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought  (Thucydides Quotes) We Greeks believe that a man who takes no part in public affairs is not merely lazy, but good for nothing  (Thucydides Quotes) The meaning of words had no longer the same relation to things... Reckless daring was held to be loyal courage; prudent delay was the excuse of a coward; moderation was the disguise of unmanly weakness; to know everything was to do nothing. Frantic energy was the true quality of man  (Thucydides Quotes) The cause of all these evils was the lust for power arising from greed and ambition; and from these passions proceeded the violence of parties once engaged in contention.  (Thucydides Quotes) Men’s indignation, it seems, is more exited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior.  (Thucydides Quotes) Men do not rest content with parrying the attacks of a superior, but often strike the first blow to prevent the attack being made.  (Thucydides Quotes) ...knowing the secret of happiness to be freedom, and the secret of freedom a brave heart, not idly to stand aside from the enemy’s onset.  (Thucydides Quotes) You know well as I do that when we are talking on the human plane, questions of justice only arise when there is equal power to compel: in terms of practicality the dominant exact what they can and the weak concede what they must. (Said by Athenian envoy to the Melians)  (Thucydides Quotes) People are inclined to accept all stories of ancient times in an uncritical way -even when those stories concern their own native counties...Most people, in fact, will not take trouble in finding out the truth, but are more inclined to accept the first story they hear.  (Thucydides Quotes) History is Philosophy teaching by examples  (Thucydides Quotes) The freaks of chance are not determinable by calculation  (Thucydides Quotes)
