  1. A quotation from Homer

    And, oh! whate’er Heaven destined to betide,
       Let neither flattery soothe, nor pity hide.
    Prepared I stand: he was but born to try
       The lot of man; to suffer, and to die.
     
    [πέρι γάρ μιν ὀιζυρὸν τέκε μήτηρ.
    μηδέ τί μ᾽ αἰδόμενος μειλίσσεο μηδ᾽ ἐλεαίρων,
    ἀλλ᾽ εὖ μοι κατάλεξον ὃπως ἤντησας ὀπωπῆς.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 3, l. 96ff (3.96) (c. 700 BC) [tr. Pope (1725), l. 114ff]

  5. A quotation from Abigail Adams

    Of all pride, that which persons discover from Riches is the weakest. If we look over our acquaintance, how many do we find who were a few years ago in affluence, now reduced to real want.

    Abigail Adams (1744-1818) American correspondent, First Lady (1797-1801)
    Letter (1790-02-20) to Mary Smith Cranch

  10. A quotation from Homer

    My word, how mortals take the gods to task!
    All their afflictions come from us, we hear.
    And what of their own failings? Greed and folly
    double the suffering in the lot of man.
     
    [ὢ πόποι, οἷον δή νυ θεοὺς βροτοὶ αἰτιόωνται.
    ἐξ ἡμέων γάρ φασι κάκ’ ἔμμεναι· οἱ δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ
    σφῇσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὑπὲρ μόρον ἄλγε’ ἔχουσιν.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 1, l. 32ff (1.32) [Zeus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Fitzgerald (1961)]

  23. A quotation from Churchill

    Let us learn our lessons. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Antiquated War Offices, weak, incompetent, or arrogant Commanders, untrustworthy allies, hostile neutrals, malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations — all take their seats at the Council Board on the morrow of a declaration of war. Always remember, however sure you are that you could easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.

    Winston Churchill (1874-1965) British statesman and author
    My Early Life: A Roving Commission, ch. 18 “With Buller to the Cape” (1930)

  52. A quotation from Euripides

    HELEN: When a man broods on a single misfortune and feels the gods are against him, though his suffering is real, it can be borne; but I am crushed by innumerable blows at once.
     
    [ἙΛΈΝΗ: ὅστις μὲν οὖν ἐς μίαν ἀποβλέπων τύχην
       πρὸς θεῶν κακοῦται, βαρὺ μέν, οἰστέον δ᾽ ὅμως:
       ἡμεῖς δὲ πολλαῖς συμφοραῖς ἐγκείμεθα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 267ff (412 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1954)]
