Xenophon
“I, Suethes, on the other hand, consider that there are no nobler and more brilliant possessions that a man, and particularly a man who holds power, can have than honour and fair dealing and generosity.

Xenophon, The Anabasis of Xenophon ..

“In truth, it takes very little to make a man happy.”
Sholokhov M.A., The Don Flows Home to the Sea

C.S Lewis
