On 由eabevella撰寫

Our city is thrown open to the world; we never expel a foreigner… We are free to live exactly as we please, and yet we are always ready to face any danger … We love beauty without indulging in fancies, and although we try to improve our intellect, this does not weaken our will…To admit one’s poverty is no disgrace to us; but we consider it disgraceful not to make an effort to avoid it

Pericles’ Funeral Oration, from Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, Book Two: 34-46 (via spiritofcicero-blog)
