Otto von Bismarck

Thucydides

Thucydides
“Ignorance is bold, and knowledge is reserved”
Thucydides

Otto von Bismarck
“Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness.”
Otto von Bismarck

Thucydides
“For the whole earth is the tomb of famous men; not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions in their own country, but in foreign lands there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men. Make them your examples, and, esteeming courage to be freedom and freedom to be happiness, do not weigh too nicely the perils of war."

[Funeral Oration of Pericles]”
Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War
