If to die honorably is the greatest Part of virtue, for us fate's done her best. Because we fought to crown Greece with freedom We lie here enjoying timeless fame.

A man gains no possession better than a good woman, nothing more horrible than a bad one.

We did not flinch but gave our lives to save Greece when her fate hung on a razor's edge.

It is hard to be truly excellent, four-square in hand and foot and mind, formed without blemish.

There's no joy even in beautiful Wisdom, unless one have holy Health.

There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.

What is life without the joy of Love?
