Historians From Greece

"Men trust their ears less than their eyes."

"I know that human happiness never remains long in the same place."

"This is the bitterest pain among men, to have much knowledge but no power."

"The king's might is greater than human, and his arm is very long."

"It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed."

"My men have turned into women and my women into men!"

""At sea your men will be as far inferior to Greeks as women are to men." (By Artemisa, the best persian warrior in Salamina, a very courageous woman. A superbe irony!)."

"It is sound planning that invariably earns us the outcome we want; without it, even the gods are unlikely to look with favour on our designs."
