Danh ngôn của Thucydides (Sứ mệnh: 1)

Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them.
Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger.
Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved.
History is Philosophy teaching by example.
The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.
Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war.
Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior.
We should remember that one man is much the same as another, and that he is best who is trained in the severest school.
