Quote by Thucydides (471 BC-400 BC)

• We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them.

• The sufferings that fate inflicts on us should be borne with patience, what enemies inflict with manly courage.

• The ability to understand a question from all sides meant one was totally unfit for action. Fanatical enthusiasm was the mark of the real man.

• A nation that draws too broad a difference between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards, and its fighting done by fools.

• Self-control is the chief element in self-respect and self-respect is the chief element in courage.

• The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.
