Just because you are not interested in politics, does not mean that politics is not interested in you.
PericlesFor heroes have the whole earth for their tomb; and in lands far from their own, where the column with its epitaph declares it, there is enshrined in every breast a record unwritten with no tablet to preserve it, except that of the heart.
PericlesFor a man's counsel cannot have equal weight or worth, when he alone has no children to risk in the general danger.
PericlesOur love of what is beautiful does not lead to extravagance; our love of the things of the mind does not make us soft.
Pericles
